Are university rankings more relevant to researchers than students?
Despite being two of the most highly-regarded and widely used university ranking bodies in the world, the rankings are much more relevant to researchers than students. Criteria like engagement in society, quality of teaching and overall student experience seldom make an appearance in the most well-known rankings.
Is there such a thing as the best university in the world?
New-comer U-Multirank, which claims to be the world’s largest global university league table compares 1,600 universities from 95 countries, is perhaps a little more on the mark for students. Its website acknowledges “there’s no such thing as the best university in the world.”
What do the world rankings really mean?
The rankings look at teaching and learning, knowledge transfer, international orientation, regional engagement and research. But, unless you want it to be, research is far from central to the results.
