Topperformers onthe
global stage take a bow
Students, academics and companies placing research contracts all need to know which are the best
universities in the world. And the measures used to identify them are crucial, explains John OLeary
igher education has become so
international that it is no longer
enough for the leading universities
to know that they are ahead of the
pack in their own country.
Students are prepared to look abroad for
the best course, even at undergraduate level;
firms scour the world to place
research contracts; and academics
are more mobile than ever. When
the newly merged Manchester
University was launched last
month, among the goals in its first
strategic plan was to become one
of the top 25 universities in the
world. But who is to say which
those are and crucially how
they should be identified?
Domestic league tables are controversial
enough, but there are extra pitfalls associated
with international comparisons. The
rankings that start on the page opposite
represent a first attempt to compare the
worlds top universities in the round. The
process has been kept simple, partly because
so few indicators of quality in higher
education translate reliably across borders,
but also to avoid any suggestion that the
data have been manipulated to produce a
particular outcome. The five indicators
have been chosen to reflect strength in
teaching, research and international
reputation, with the greatest influence
exerted by those in the best position to judge:
the academics. University staff from every
continent have given their verdict on the top
institutions in their field, rather than
delivering a more impressionistic judgement
of quality across the board. Subsequent
features will identify the leaders in different
disciplines, but here we examine the
aggregated results of the survey.
Other measures were considered and
discarded for a variety of reasons. Some,
such as a survey of graduate recruiters, may

Elements
that paint
a portrait
of global
powers
The Times Highers analysis
of the worlds top universities
shows that quality is not the
preserve of any single country.
Martin Ince explains how the
positions were worked out
others. Researchers in fields of the social
sciences such as law and education, which
are based in national systems, tend to
publish in national publications, often not in
English, which are less likely to be covered
by Thomson Scientifics database than work
in the natural sciences.
In the course of this exercise, QS collected
a wide range of other data on university
performance. Rated at a further 20 per cent
of the total is a measure of faculty-to-student
ratio. While institutional practices and
international variations in employment law
make staff numbers less than completely

BERKELEY
Clark Kerr once
said of the University of California,
Berkeley: If you
are bored with
Berkeley, you are
federal demands
to bar foreign
researchers from
sensitive
governmentsponsored
research. Its
students, too,
continue to protest
against tuition
rises and the war
in Iraq.
Berkeley is con-
sistently ranked as
the top public
university in the
US, on a par with
large private universities on the
East Coast.
It is one of the
most selective US
universities. Only
one in four undergraduate applicants is accepted.
Non-US
observers
may note that
the big US
universities
gain from
political
independence
and the clout
of large
endowments

West is

feast in

Citations might sometimes be
lacking, finds Martin Ince, but
numerous Asian and Australian
universities are well regarded
by academics around the world
students, including
about 2,100 from
overseas, mostly
from Korea and
China. There are
some 2,800
academic staff.
Tokyo has a
range of taught
programmes, postgraduate research,
and professional
schools such as its
legendary law
school.
Takeshi Sasaki,
Tokyos president,
says that as the
oldest university in
Japan, Tokyo has
always been in the
vanguard when it
comes to tackling
new challenges.
Tokyos record
in developing
important human
resources for
Japanese society
is well known, but
now, as evidenced
by the hundreds
of exchange
agreements
with overseas
universities, it
is playing an
important role in
the international
academic
community, too.
