World University Rankings 2021
The Times Higher Education World University
Rankings 2021 include more than 1,500
universities across 93 countries and regions,
making them the largest and most diverse
university rankings to date.The table is based
on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators
that measure an institution’s performance
across four areas: teaching, research,
knowledge transfer and international outlook.
This year’s ranking analysed more
than 80 million citations across over 13 million research publications and included survey responses from
22,000 scholars globally.Trusted worldwide by students, teachers, governments and industry experts, this
year’s league table provides great insight into the shifting balance of power in global higher education.The
University of Oxford tops the rankings for the fifth consecutive year, while mainland China’s Tsinghua University
becomes the first Asian university to break into the top 20 under the current methodology (launched in 2011).
The US claims a record eight places in the top 10, after the University of California, Berkeley climbed six
places to seventh, but US universities outside the top 200 show signs of decline.Meanwhile, there are 141 firsttime
entrants in the rankings this year, topped by France’s recently merged Paris-Saclay University (joint 178th).
India has the highest number of new entries (14) and as a result boasts a record number of ranked institutions
(63).
