Times Higher World University Rankings

The Times Higher World University Rankings, compiled by QS Quacquarelli Symonds Network, represent a first attempt to compare the world's top universities.
The ranking is available on the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) website or on the QS Network and is based on the following multiple indicators:

• Peer reviewing, based on a poll of 1,300 academics in 88 countries.

• The Teachers/Students ratio.

• The internationalization rate, given by the percentage of the academic staff and of the students coming from other countries.

• The number of research citations, based on the Essential Science Indicators edited by Thomson Scientific.
