The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) recently released its 2023 world university rankings. Unlike the assessment indicators used by other world rankings, the CWUR ranking is based primarily on four indicators:
Education, Employability, Faculty and Research.
The specific assessment method is as follows:
1. Education — 25%:based on the academic achievements of a university’s alumni, measured specifically by the proportion of alumni who have attained prominent academic honours.
2. Employability — 25%:based on the professional achievements of a university’s graduates, measured by the proportion of alumni holding senior positions at major companies relative to the university’s size.
3. Faculty — 10%:measures the number of academic staff who have received prominent academic honours.
4. Research — 40%:this section is more detailed than in other world university rankings and mainly includes:
Research Output (10%): measured by the number of research papers
High-Quality Publications (10%): measured by the number of research papers published in top-tier journals
Influence (10%): measured by the number of research papers published in highly influential journals
Citations (10%): measured by the number of highly cited research papers
A total of 20,531 universities worldwide were assessed in this ranking. Harvard University ranks first in the world, followed by MIT and Stanford University.
Aside from two flagship British universities — Oxford and Cambridge — the rest of the global top 10 is dominated by US universities.
