“are the only global university
performance tables to judge
world-class universities across
all of their core missions —
teaching, research, knowledge
transfer and international
outlook.”
It added that, “The top
universities rankings employ 13
carefully calibrated performance
indicators to provide the most
comprehensive and balanced
comparisons available, which
are trusted by students,
academics, university leaders,
industry and governments.”
By reputation, however, the
organisation said Harvard
University had 100 per cent. It
was followed by the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (87.6 per cent),
University of Cambridge (81.3),
University of Oxford (73.0) and
the University of California,
Berkeley (72.4).
The report said the ‘World
Reputation Rankings’ employed
the world’s largest invitation-
only academic opinion survey to
provide the definitive list of the
top 100 most powerful global
university brands.[/b]
