World University Rankings 2022

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 include more than 1,600 universities across 99 countries and territories, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.

The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

This year’s ranking analysed more than 108 million citations across over 14.4 million research publications and included survey responses from almost 22,000 scholars globally. Overall, we collected over 430,000 datapoints from more than 2,100 institutions that submitted data.

Trusted worldwide by students, teachers, governments and industry experts, this year’s league table reveals how the Covid-19 pandemic has started to shift global higher education performance.

The University of Oxford tops the ranking for the sixth consecutive year, while mainland China has two institutions in the top 20 for the first time: Peking University and Tsinghua University share 16th place.

Institut Polytechnique de Paris is the highest new entry at 95th place, following a merger of five institutions.

The US is the most-represented country overall with 183 institutions, and also the most represented in the top 200 (57), although its share of universities in this elite group is falling.

Mainland China now has the joint fifth highest number of institutions in the top 200 (up from joint seventh last year), overtaking Canada and on a par with the Netherlands.

Six new countries feature in the table compared with last year: Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Palestine and Tanzania.

Harvard University tops the teaching pillar, while the University of Oxford tops the research pillar and Macau University of Science and Technology leads the international pillar.

Overall, 1,662 universities are ranked. A further 452 universities are listed with “reporter” status, meaning that they provided data but did not meet our eligibility criteria to receive a rank.

Johns Hopkins No. 13 in 'Times Higher Education' World University Rankings

Publication evaluates more than 1,600 universities from around the world based on teaching, research, citations, knowledge transfer, and international outlook metrics.

By Hub staff report

Johns Hopkins University ranks No. 13 in the annual Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2022 , which were published online Wednesday and include 1,662 colleges and universities from around the globe.

Johns Hopkins share the No. 13 ranking this year with Penn. JHU was ranked 12th globally by THE last year and has been 12th or 13th in each of the past five rankings cycles.

Hopkins also ranks No. 10 overall among 183 U.S. schools, according to THE .

The University of Oxford tops this year's world rankings, followed by Harvard, Caltech, and Stanford. MIT and Cambridge are tied for fifth.

The Times Higher Education list, published each year since 2004, is among the world's most influential rankings of colleges and universities, which are judged based on 13 key performance indicators grouped into five thematic areas:

  • Teaching, which examines the reputation of the school's academic instruction as well as student-to-teacher ratios, the ratio of doctoral degrees to bachelor degrees awarded, the number of faculty who hold doctorates, and the income of academic staff
  • Research, which analyzes the number of publications per staff member at an institution, the research income of the school, and the reputation of that research
  • Citations, which examines the school's research influence
  • Industry income, which measures knowledge transfer by quantifying the income generated by research partnerships with private industries
  • International outlook, which weighs the percentage of international staff, students, and co-authorship to determine a school's ability to attract students, faculty, and staff from around the world

Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 are the most comprehensive yet. 1,600 universities from 99 countries were assessed and rated. We look at how these institutions fared.

share image

It’s that time of year again for the top universities to vie for a coveted position on the  Times Higher Education World University Rankings , also known as THE Rankings . The 2022 rankings mark an even more extensive evaluation of higher education institutions than 2021, with 1,600 universities from 99 countries included. This year’s rankings have also considered the influence of Covid-19 in the performance and trends within higher education. Let's jump right in and analyse the results.

Which universities made the top 10?

The top ten places were dominated by some of the most well-renowned and famous institutions in the world. The number one spot was a race for the line between the University of Oxford and the California Institute of Technology. In the end, the University of Oxford emerged victorious for the sixth year in a row, while the California Institute of Technology jumped two places from 2021.

The top 10 universities were dominated by institutions from the USA, with eight spots occupied by American universities, many of which are  Ivy League members. This reflects the same trend as 2021, which also saw two UK universities make the top 10, both members of the Russell Group . The 2022 rankings top 10 did not feature any new entrants and features the same universities as in 2021.  

However, there was a rise of two spots for Princeton University to 7th and a drop of one spot for the University of California Berkeley. 2022 also sees the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology share 5th place. Harvard University enjoyed its highest placing on the rankings since 2016.

The top 10 universities in the world on the  Times Higher Education World University Rankings  2022 are:

  • University of Oxford
  • California Institute of Technology (=2)
  • Harvard University (=2)
  • Stanford University
  • University of Cambridge (=5)
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (=5)
  • Princeton University
  • University of California, Berkeley
  • Yale University
  • University of Chicago

Which universities ranked in the top 30?

There are some interesting trends in the rankings for 2022. This is the first year that two universities from China have made the top 20, namely Tsinghua University and Peking University. The six institutions from the country in the top 100, and 10 in the top 200, underscores the growth and strength of Chinese universities. There was also a strong showing from universities in Hong Kong, with four institutions in the top 100.

The USA accounted for the greatest number of universities in the top 200, with 57. The UK comes in second with 28 representatives, followed by Germany with 22 institutions.  Australia and China are also well established in the top 200 with 12 and 10 universities respectively.

Interestingly  Canada  saw a slight dip with only seven universities in the top 200, putting the country on par with Switzerland. There was another new entrant into the top 200 with the first Saudi Arabian university, King Abdulaziz University, ranked 190th. Let’s turn our attention to the universities in positions 11 to 30:

11. Columbia University - USA

12. Imperial College London - UK

13. Johns Hopkins University (=13) - USA

14. University of Pennsylvania (=13) - USA

15. ETH Zurich – Switzerland

16. Peking University (=16) – China

17. Tsinghua University (=16) - China

18. University of Toronto (=18) - Canada

19. University College London (=18) - UK

20. University of California, Los Angeles - USA

21. National University of Singapore - Singapore

22. Cornell University - USA

23. Duke University - USA

24. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (=24) - USA

25. Northwestern University (=24) - USA

26. New York University - USA

27. London School of Economics and Political Science - UK

28. Carnegie Mellon University - USA

29. University of Washington - USA

30. University of Edinburgh (=30) - UK

31. University of Hong Kong (=30)

Notable changes in the top 30 rankings include a five-place rise for the National University of Singapore and a three-place drop for Duke University. Columbia University saw a significant move of six places in 2022 rising to number 11, while Peking University rose seven places to number 16.

What methodology was used for the 2022 rankings?

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 made use of 13 key performance indicators. Further, the analysis of university performance included 14.4 million research publications, 108 million citations and 22,000 surveyed academics across the globe. The 13 performance indicators used are:

  • Reputation survey (15 per cent)
  • Student to staff ratio (4.5 per cent)
  • Doctorate to bachelor’s student ratio (2.25 per cent)
  • Doctorates awarded to academic staff (6 per cent)
  •  Institutional income (2.25 per cent)
  • Reputation survey (18 per cent)
  • Research income (6 per cent)
  • Research productivity (6 per cent)
  • Citations (influence of research) 30 per cent
  • The proportion of international students (2.5 per cent)
  • The proportion of international staff (2.5 per cent)
  • International collaboration (2.5 per cent)
  • Industry income (transfer of knowledge - 2.5 per cent)

2022 did see the impact of research into  Covid-19 influencing the rankings . Critical work done into finding vaccines and managing the crisis has seen development for universities at the forefront, including Oxford University (1) and Wuhan University (157). This primarily relates to a steep rise in citation scores for universities producing medical papers related to the virus.

There you have it. Those are the top-ranked universities in the world according to  Times Higher Education .

  • UK’s University of Oxford retains first place in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for the best university in the world for the sixth consecutive year as the US and UK take all top ten positions for the second year running.
  • In Asia, mainland China registers its highest ever position in the ranking (16th) and sees a record 10 universities reach the world top 200, while South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong all achieve their highest positions under the current methodology.
  • Dramatic improvements for the Middle East, as Saudi Arabia and Egypt emerge as the fastest-rising countries in the world.
  • A record 1,662 universities from 99 countries and regions are part of this year’s rankings as the competition in the global knowledge economy intensifies.

The University of Oxford, which led the way in the global search for a Covid-19 vaccine, has been named the world’s number one university for a sixth consecutive year in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings – in a period when the global rush for research into the virus has provided a further boost to mainland China’s rapid rise up the global rankings.

Oxford came top from a record 1,662 universities from 99 countries and regions that made it into the ranking, which is based on 13 balanced performance indicators and includes an analysis of 108 million citations from 14.4 million research publications – designed to recognise universities’ role in spreading new knowledge – as well as a survey of 22,000 academics worldwide.

How historically black universities and colleges are drivers of u.s. growth, universities can be 'living labs' for sustainability, asian universities are on the rise. this is what it means for the rest of the world.

Harvard University took its highest position in the rankings since the current methodology was introduced in 2016, claiming second place, a position it shares with its much smaller West-coast US counterpart, the California Institute of Technology. The US claimed eight of the world’s top ten places, with the UK’s University of Cambridge in 5 th place, joining Oxford as the only other top ten representatives.

Mainland China continued its rapid rise up the rankings, claiming its highest ever position with both Tsinghua and Peking universities in Beijing sharing joint 16 th place – giving the mainland two top-20 positions for the first time. Mainland China claimed a record 10 of the world’s top 200 universities, up from seven last year, and just two back in 2016. Hong Kong also improved its showing at the top of the table, as four of its universities appeared in the top 100 for the first time, and registering its highest ever position in the ranking with the University of Hong Kong taking 30 th place.

Success for mainland China and Hong Kong contributed towards a very strong year for East Asia in the higher echelons of the ranking, with the National University of Singapore moving up from 25 th to 21 st , Japan’s University of Tokyo edging up one place to =35 th and South Korea’s Seoul National University moving up six places to 54 th . All these results represent national bests for the countries in the table.

Countries for the best universities in the world for 2022

Louise Richardson, vice chancellor of Oxford University, told Times Higher Education: “My colleagues and I are absolutely delighted to have achieved the top ranking again. There are many great universities around the world and we are proud to be in their company.

“This past year has demonstrated to our publics, our governments, and even to ourselves just how much universities can contribute to society. The vaccine Oxford developed is being distributed in over 170 countries and over a billion doses have been manufactured. Together our universities have made the strongest possible case for renewed public investment in research universities.”

This is the first year that research into Covid-19 had an impact on the best universities in the world rankings data, reflecting the vital role of universities in understanding and managing the crisis and providing China with a significant boost, as several of its universities including Wuhan University (157 th ) and Capital Medical University (501-600 band) saw moves up the table as a result of highly cited research into the virus.

The Middle East and North Africa region also saw major improvements in the rankings. Saudi Arabia entered the world top 200 for the first time, with King Abdulaziz University reaching 190 th place. The Kingdom claimed five top-400 universities, up from just two last year. Five new entrants from Saudi Arabia gave the Kingdom a record 15 representatives in the rankings.

Saudi Arabia joined Egypt as home to the fastest-rising universities in the world – improving more quickly over the last four years than mainland China, albeit from a lower base. The success for these nations was largely driven by major improvements in scores for research impact – based on citation analysis.

Other rapidly-developing countries included Malaysia, which boasts the fastest-rising higher education in terms of international outlook (attracting academic and student talent, and publishing internationally collaborative research) and Pakistan, which saw a significant boost to its scores for university-industry collaboration.
