Top 50 world’s Best Universities
Higher education is a very major step towards your career; therefore, you need to look out for the best options. Top universities in the world not only provide the best education but also pave the way for your career to lead your life. The university ranking is based on their academic performance and global reputations. Students can consider these options while applying to the top universities in the world for higher education. The ranking of universities is dependent on a variety of factors, including:
- Academic reputation
- Faculty/student ration
- International student ratio
- Employer reputation
- International faculty ratio
- Citations per faculty
These factors combined calculate the ranking of the universities in the world, and let’s have a look at which universities have been topping the list and fulfilling the ranking requirements.
USA
The first half of the ranks of the top 50 universities in the world have been taken by North America, and the universities listed under include Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT, the California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, and many more. The majority of the top-ranked colleges in North America are, as last year, located in the United States. In the top five are Harvard University in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University in California, and the University of California, Berkeley.
The University of Toronto came in at number 18 and the University of British Columbia at number 35 on the list of the top 50 universities worldwide.
Europe
Nearly a third of the list is made up of European universities, the majority of which are in UK, which consistently tops the list of best universities in the UK. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, both, were listed among the top 10. European nations such as Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland also had schools that were in the top 50 worldwide.
Asia
Tsinghua University, one of the two Chinese universities that made the top 50, achieved strong rankings at both the regional and global levels, coming in at No. 1 and No. 23, respectively. The National University of Singapore was ranked No. 26 globally and No. 2 in Asia.
Australia/New Zealand
Australia is home to many of the best universities in the Australia/New Zealand region; the University of Melbourne, for instance, is ranked first in Australia and 27th in the world. Like the previous year, no New Zealand universities were included in the top 50.
According to data from U.S. News, some of the top colleges and universities in the world are in cities like Beijing, London, Seattle, Vancouver, and Zurich. Other institutions are spread across the nation in Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.
Université de Paris in France and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the United States, on the other hand, are the two most recent additions to the top 50. The Karolinska Institute in Sweden and King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia were among the schools that could not become the part of the top 50 this year.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium are two examples of listed institutions that are located in smaller towns with populations under 110,000, despite the fact that the majority of them are in larger cities.
