World University Rankings 2007

Welcome to the 2007 Times Higher Education World University Rankings page.

The publication of the world rankings has become one of the key annual events in the international higher education calendar. Since their first appearance in 2004, the global university league tables have been recognised as the most authoritative source of broad comparative performance information on universities across the world. They are now regularly used by undergraduate and postgraduate students to help select degree courses, by academics to inform career decisions, by research teams to identify new collaborative partners and by university managers to benchmark their performance and set strategic priorities.

As nations across the globe focus on the establishment of world-class universities as essential elements of economic policy, the rankings are increasingly employed as a tool for governments to set national policy.

World University Rankings 2010 and beyond

Because of the growing influence and reach of the rankings, Times Higher Education magazine has now confirmed a complete review of the rankings methodology. For 2010, it will introduce a raft of improvements to increase the rigour, balance and transparency of the annual university ratings. THE has ended its partnership with the careers advice company QS and has signed an agreement with Thomson Reuters, the world’s leading research data specialist, to provide all the data for the world university rankings from 2010 and beyond.
