htmlOn April 26, the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR)
released the 2021-2022 World University Rankings.
CWUR has announced the global university rankings every year since 2012. Although it is not as well-known as QS, THE, and USnews, compared with other world university rankings, the uniqueness of CWUR is its data source.
It claims to be the only one in the world that does not rely on questionnaires and data provided by the school itself, and makes independent assessments of the school's educational quality, alumni employment, faculty, and and scientific research strength, which has the objectivity of a third-party evaluation institution and avoids school fraud.
And she and QS often have "schedule period", so she has become popular in recent years and is often compared with each other.
This year, nearly 20,000 universities (19788) participated in the ranking, of which the top 2,000 were finally included in the CWUR World University List.
CWUR conducts a comprehensive assessment of global universities from 7 aspects, and divides specific indicators into four categories, including: Educational quality, alumni employment, faculty, and scientific research strength.
▶ Education quality (25%)
Number of alumni who have achieved important academic achievements relative to the school size
▶ Alumni Employment (25%)
Number of alumni who serves as executives in the world’s top companies
▶ Faculty (10%)
Number of faculty members who have achieved important academic achievements in schools
▶ Research Strength (40%)
- Research Results (10%): Total Number of Research Papers published
- High Quality Publishing (10%): Number of Research Papers published in Top Journals
- Influence (10%): Number of Research Papers published in journals with important influence
