SWOT Analysis
How can we improve our reputation & ranking? >
World University Rankings: Methodology And in a nutshell -- here’s what we came up with. 13 separate performance indicators, reflecting the full range of a university’s mission: research, knowledge transfer, global outlook, and yes, the teaching environment. A healthy 30 per cent dedicated to the teaching environment: unique to any global ranking. Despite major improvements to the survey methodology, we’ve significantly reduced the weighting given to subjective reputation indicators. Down from half to a third. Innovations: income and cash. Scaling Lets have a closer look… Methodology used since 2011-12 World University Rankings . 8
