The Times Higher World University Rankings, compiled by QS Quacquarelli Symonds Network, represent a first attempt to compare the world’s top universities. The ranking is based on the following multiple indicators:
- Peer reviewing, based on a poll of 1,300 academics in 88 countries.
- The Teachers/Students ratio.
- The internationalization rate, given by the percentage of the academic staff and of the students coming from other countries.
- The number of research citations, based on the Essential Science Indicators edited by Thomson Scientific.
