The Center for World University Rankings (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.
CWUR uses seven objective and robust indicators grouped into four areas to rank the world’s universities:
1). Quality of Education, measured by the number of a university's alumni who have won major academic distinctions relative to the university's size (25%)
2). Alumni Employment, measured by the number of a university's alumni who have held top executive positions at the world's largest companies relative to the university's size (25%)
3). Quality of Faculty, measured by the number of faculty members who have won major academic distinctions (10%)
4). Research Performance:
- Research Output, measured by the the total number of research papers (10%)
- High-Quality Publications, measured by the number of research papers appearing in top-tier journals (10%)
- Influence, measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly-influential journals (10%)
- Citations, measured by the number of highly-cited research papers (10%)
Accordingly, 19,788 institutions were ranked, and those that placed at the top made the global 2000 list. Harvard University has topped the ranking globally followed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, and Oxford University respectively.
