What is THE World University Rankings 2026?
Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE WUR) is an annual list published by the British magazine “Times Higher Education.” Alongside the ShanghaiRanking (ARWU) and the QS World University Rankings, it is recognized as one of the three most important global university rankings. The “THE” methodology is extremely rigorous and comprehensively evaluates research-intensive universities across all their core missions. The ranking is based on five key pillars: Teaching (the learning environment), Research Environment (volume, income, and reputation), Research Quality (citation impact and research strength), International Outlook (staff, students, and research), and Industry (knowledge transfer and income). Presence in this ranking signifies belonging to the world’s elite academic institutions.
