World’s top 30 universities for teaching (World University Rankings)

The 成人VR视频 World University Rankings use 13 separate performance indicators to judge world class universities against all their core missions, including research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. But uniquely among global rankings, the THE rankings also examine a university’s teaching environment.

The rankings employ five separate indicators to cover teaching, which are collectively given a weight of 30 per cent towards the overall ranking score.

The indicators are designed to provide a clear sense of the teaching and learning environment of each institution from both the student and the academic perspective, and they include a faculty-student ratio, an institution’s total resources scaled for its size, the doctorate-to-bachelor’s ratio and the results of the world’s largest invitation-only survey of global academic opinion. You can read the full methodology here.
