The allaboutuni.com web site includes a global ranking system of the world's top 500 universities - the Academic Ranking of World Universities (2007) prepared by the Institute of Higher Education at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University [click here].
An important reason for selecting the Academic Ranking of World Universities is that it widely known and publicly accessible. The methodology used does have its weaknesses (e.g. it gives a disproportionately high weighting to biomedical research) and the rankings should be used together with other global rankings (e.g. the [click here] and Newsweek rankings [click here]).
If possible, and at a later date, we will include other rankings on the allaboutuni.com website. |
