World University Rankings 2015-2016

    The World University Rankings 2015-2016 list the best global universities and are the only international university performance tables to judge world class universities across all of their core missions -  Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Student-To-Faculty Ratio, Citations Per Faculty, International Faculty Ratio, International Student Ratio and international outlook.

    The top universities rankings employ  standardized performance indicators to provide the most broad and balanced comparisons available, which are trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments. This year's ranking includes 800 universities from 70 different countries, compared with the 400 universities from 41 countries in last year's table.     

    Our list of the best global universities rankings include many performance indicators directly relevant to students and their families, to help them chose where to study, including faculty-student ratios, the university’s global reputation, its total resources, the international mix on campus, and its links to business. But a reason why the rankings are so widely respected is that they cover the full range of a university’s missions, including research excellence. Sources: Various International Educational Websites
