International Ranking
About THE's rankings
Everything you need to know about Times Higher Education’s global portfolio of university rankings.
At Times Higher Education we create university rankings to assess university performance on the global stage and to provide a resource for readers to understand the different missions and successes of higher education institutions.
Our rankings cover the three main missions of university activity: research, teaching and impact.

Each university in the rankings has a detailed profile, with a breakdown of its overall scores across the rankings and supplementary data designed to help students. For example, there are data on the staff-to-student ratio at each university, the total income per student, the proportion of international students and the gender breakdown of students.
Some universities have enhanced profiles to showcase their student offer and their individual strengths and qualities beyond the rankings data. To raise your university’s global profile with THE, please contact branding@timeshighereducation.com.
THE’s rich data have become a vital resource for students, helping them to make one of the most important decisions of their lives – who to trust with their education.
To help students get the most out of our rankings, we have a dedicated Student section, providing student-focused news and advice and featuring a wide range of student blogs with invaluable first-person advice and tips.
