Announcing an update to the methodology behind our global league table of universities effective this year

Next year will see a significant update to our methodology to better reflect universities’ work. Duncan Ross and Billy Wong explain

We will measure outbound student exchange and take into account the population size of a country to more fairly judge internationalisation, says Duncan Ross

We have appointed nine board members across four continents to improve transparency and help us further develop the league table, says Duncan Ross

We have appointed 10 board members to suggest how we can improve the rankings and ensure that we act responsibly, says Duncan Ross

We have listened to your feedback and improved the way we evaluate global universities, while still using subjects classified by China’s Ministry of Education, say David Watkins and Duncan Ross

THE is taking a deeper look at the perception of universities, a measure that has become increasingly important during the pandemic, says Duncan Ross

We have published the methodology for the 2021 edition of the table, which makes it easier for postgraduate institutions to take part, says Duncan Ross

Universities are under intense financial pressure but we should not ignore the outstanding work they are doing for the benefit of society, says Duncan Ross

The roll-out of the next THE rankings methodology will be delayed, but the pandemic’s potential impact on the results of the league tables is less clear, says Duncan Ross

Duncan Ross explains how THE could enhance the assessment of university-industry ties in the next iteration of the World University Rankings methodology
