CWUR publishes the only academic ranking of global universities that assesses the quality of education, alumni employment, quality of faculty and research performance without relying on surveys and university data submissions. The consulting organization uses seven indicators in four areas to rank the world’s approximately 20,000 universities: quality of education, alumni employment, quality of faculty and research performance (including research output, publications in top-tier journals, influence and citations).
The full 2021–2022 list is available on the CWUR website.
