2023THE World University Ranking Top200 * Content source: Times World University Ranking Official Weibo, THE official website World University Ranking Analysis Currently, the four recognized authoritative rankings in the world are: Times Higher Education World University Ranking; QS World University Ranking; Soft Science World University Academic Ranking; U.S. News World University Rankings . The rankings of the same university on different lists are sometimes greatly different every year. This is because different rankings have different indicators and weights in the judgment of colleges and universities. THE World University Ranking THE World University Ranking is a relatively good ranking system that can combine academic and non-academic. However, it originated from the UK and its ranking will also be more biased towards British students. U.S.NEWS World University Ranking U.S.NEWS World University Ranking focuses on the academic strength of colleges and universities, attaches importance to scientific research, integrates factors such as academic reputation and international exchanges, and is one of the best references to examine the hard strength of schools. Suitable for students applying to the United States. Soft Science World University Academic Ranking ARWU's academic nature is the strongest among the four rankings, with an academic weight of 100% (the academic weight of the other three rankings remains around 20-80%). However, it has also been accused of overly focusing on the field of science and engineering and excessive adoption of well-known American journals and paper publishing platforms as data benchmarks. QS World University Rankings QS World University Rankings combines factors such as employer reputation, international teacher ratio, teacher-student ratio, and more attention to comprehensive factors such as the school's global popularity, student experience and university education quality. To judge the popularity of a school in the country, the QS world university rankings are the most valuable reference. In short, the ranking is not completely objective and cannot 100% reflect all the situation of the university. Therefore, when you check the ranking, you should match the reference according to your needs, and the best one is suitable for you.
