the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019 includes more than 1,250 universities, making it our largest international ranking to date.
It is the only global academic performance table to judge research-intensive universities in all their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international perspectives. We use 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons that students, academics, academic leaders, industry and governments trust.
The ranking calculation for 2019 has been audited by the professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), making it the only global university ranking to undergo a full and independent review of this nature.
