The Times' ranking of global universities mainly evaluates the scientific research strength of participating universities. Thomas Reuters provided all kinds of data needed for ranking. These 13 independent evaluation indicators can be divided into five categories:
Teaching-learning environment, teacher-student ratio, bachelor's \ doctor's degree awarded, etc. (30% of the total score)
Research research-research quantity, income and reputation (accounting for 30% of the total score)
Citation-the influence of scientific research (30% of the total score)
Industry income-innovation, that is, research income of industry and academic personnel (accounting for 2.5% of the total score).
International outlook-the number of international students, international teachers and cross-border academic research (accounting for 7.5% of the total score)
Ranking explanation:
In 20 10, six universities in Chinese mainland were listed. Unfortunately, 20 1 1 only three universities entered the top 200: Peking University 49, Tsinghua 7 1.
Among the top 200 universities, there are 75 American universities and 32 British universities, accounting for half the sky. Germany 12, Netherlands 12, Canada 9, Australia 7, Switzerland 7, Sweden 5 and Japan 5.
A section "Best of the rest" has also been added, which means that the best universities in other universities, that is, the other 200 universities in the world that are closely following the top 200 in various evaluations, are all listed. These 200 universities are not ranked, but sorted alphabetically for students' reference.
IDP advises students and parents: There are many rankings, each with different emphasis and each with its own limitations. I hope that the ranking will become a reference for everyone to choose countries, institutions and majors to study abroad, not the only basis. If you rely too much on ranking to make a choice, you will be tired of ranking and unable to make a rational choice. We advocate comprehensive consideration according to our hobbies, professional background, family situation, future career planning, as well as the geographical location and climate of colleges and universities.
Digital interpretation:
In addition to universities from the United States and Britain, the highest ranking is Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Zurich, ranking15;

The University of S? o Paulo from Brazil, after missing the ranking of the world's top 200 universities last year, returned to the top 200 list with the ranking of 178 this year due to the increase in capital investment and the promotion of its reputation;
Switzerland is a small country with a population of only 8 million, but three universities have won the top 70 in the world university rankings, which is the return of its continuous attention to the education industry and the provision of sufficient funds;
There are no Italian universities in the list of the top 200 universities in the world;
Five universities in Japan have entered the list of the top 200 universities in the world, ahead of other Asian countries;
China's Peking University and Tsinghua University are still on the list of 100, but The Times' ranking of world universities also reflects that other 2 1 1 or 985 universities in China still have a long way to go.
However, the rankings of most universities that entered the list have dropped significantly compared with last year.
Affected by the domestic economic situation, Ireland's ranking in the top 200 universities has dropped significantly compared with last year;

For the first time, The Times Higher Education Supplement compares the number of universities in the top 200 universities in the world with the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country/region, which helps us to further understand the important role of higher education in a society. In this way, we find that China ranks first, followed by the Netherlands, Britain, Switzerland and Sweden, while the United States, a powerful educational country, ranks only at 14.
