Harvard University tops The Times higher education reputation list, as it did in 2011.
Photograph: Chris Ison/PA
Harvard University is number one in the top 100 list of most reputable Universities as
it did last year, according to data put together by The Times Higher Education and
Thomson Reuters.
The country with the most reputable universities in the world is the US according to
the global reputation ranking out today.
But what's interesting are the subtle changes from last year's list.
As the Guardian's Jessica Shepherd observes:
Some of the UK's leading universities have dropped several places since last year,
while China's universities have improved their performance. China is expanding its
higher education system faster than most other countries in the world.
These trends have not yet changed the overall results of the countries producing the
most reputable universities. Taking the top 50 universities from the list we can see that
America still has the largest number of higher quality universities, followed by the
UK.
Click through to see the full size version of this chart.
According to the Times Higher Education website the list is made by 17,554 leading
academics from 149 countries who have rated campuses across the world according to
how good they thought their research and teaching were.
With university tuition fees rocketing and more applicants fighting for places,
university reputation is set to be an even bigger focus for prospective students.
Here's all the data for you to explore. Let us know what you can do with it.

Once again, completely inconsistent to what other tables say. Once again the
top of the list stays the same. How ridiculous! To not even have universities
like Warwick, Durham or St Andrews in the top 100 is ridiculous. More
ridiculous is the fact that these universities are above so many of the other
universities in the table (like Kings) domestically but in the world rankings
they are not.
You just cannot rank universities full stop, and while it is laughable that
people try to do it on a smaller scale (domestically), when they attempt to
compare universities from around the world, with entirely different cultures
and entirely different methods of doing things, it is just beyond funny.

Clearly, the way to have a great reputation is to be in a place called

I guess there is nothing wrong with these tables if the Guardian do not take
them too seriously. However, the fact that in another article, they say that,
universities will have to adapt to the tables, governmental policy could be
influenced, and that these are indicative of how good an institution is. These
show that the Guardian do take these way to seriously, and that is probably
quite damaging.

Without giving a breakdown of the 17,554 leading academics and the
countries they come from this type of report has little meaning.
A number of things will lead to bias, the specialist subjects of the academics,
the country they come from and the University they teach in.
Unless the breakdown of academics is 50% humanities and 50% sciences it is
impossible to achieve anything like a meaningful table. Also if the number of
questioned academics has increased from Asian it is logical that a change in
position and representation will occur.

This article should clearly give us this data.

10 british universities in the world top 100
I can't help noticing that this table rates King's 8th in the UK
guardian rates them 30th
complete university guide rates them 13th
there is so little consistency between various tables for the non Oxbridge
universities there is little point looking at them individually
also this is made by academics rating the universities they do not take into
account bigger issues like student satisfaction, support for students, value for
money it seems a bit narrow minded to me

You can't expect consistency between these league tables, the guys behind
them need them to be just a little bit different from each other, and to have a
small amount of volatility each year. Otherwise no one would care.
So, a global league table that contrived not to have Harvard in the top 5 would
not get picked up on as people would assume it was silly. In the UK the early
university league table compilers were open that they had to gather data and
then make sure Oxford and Cambridge were at the top.

Normally most of the indicators are effectively measures of reputation, so this

one just cuts to the chase.

both my children graduated from San Francisco high school and completed
their university studies in Canada, for less money than I paid for their high
school. Univ of British Columbia and McGill are 25th in the world (in the top
15 in North America). great to see these public Canadian schools with such
high rankings.

There are more academics in Scotland, a country with only seven or eight
'established' universities, than were asked in this survey. It's a miniscule
sample, which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't suffer from the same problems
that every peer review of this kind suffers from.
1) It's always biased towards science- they won't say for sure, but other peer
reviews don't bother to ask historians or literature specialists- STJU doesn't at
all, so I'd guess 90%+ would be in those fields, probably medical sciences.
Economics and business is about as far away from Science and Engineering as
they get. In my small sample size, I certainly don't know anyone that's been
asked in humanities, or know of anyone that knows of anyone that was asked
to review. And two of my three institutions have just placed in the top 10. In
my humble opinion, Yale trumps Harvard for a great deal of the arts and
humanities areas that I know of and work in. However, it has no reputation to
really speak of in things like Engineering.
2) There's a vicious cycle now where academics have even admitted using
league tables to work out where they think the best places are. So yes, they're
actually using the Times to tell the Times where is best. Terrific.
3) There's always a capital city bias for places that are less known. 'Well, I
don't know much about Finland, but we'll say Helsinki'... Humboldt in Berlin
tends to do better here than it does in German peer reviews.
4) Academics do a good bit of back-slapping for their friends and colleaguesso expect the biggest labs and departments to crop up. Leeds, with nearly
40,000 students in the top 100- there probably isn't that much to pick between
there and another very similar institution like Southampton or something,
except it's half the size.
5) Usual problem with rankings. We try to say a place with three dozen
departments is better than another with three dozen departments, despite the
reality that one probably edges some and the other edges some. If we believe
this table, Imperial has a better reputation than LSE. Except that they compete
in exactly zero areas, save that they're both universities.
6) They try, god bless them, to normalise for non-English speaking universities
because they don't get many responses, but since English is just about the
universal language of publication and research, it just skews it too far the other

way. I'm not really sure Seoul University is having quite the impact on
research in the English medium compared to plenty of universities that I can
think of that aren't on that list. Not saying it's not a terrific institution, but 99%
of us probably don't know, and you can't just multiply what the two Korean
speakers think by fifty to get an answer.
7) It doesn't help to be broad- if you're good at two things and only do two
things (like a specialised technical university) you'll be rewarded. Being good
at 10 things but having 30 departments means you'll rank lower.
In sum, I'm really not sure why we continue to put up with these things- it's
not what universities are for, and just turns them more into the consumer
market that we've been trying to avoid for years. People WILL, mark my
words, look at this, and decide to spend a ton of money going to UCL or
wherever even though it's not the well aligned with their interests, just because
they think it will help them get a job. We're potentially cheating people out of
a great experience and a lot of happiness because we continue to publish this
rubbish.

Unless you are an academic this table matters little. All that matters is that you
get a good job and are happy. Whether attending Cambridge will make you
happy remains to be seen!

With rankings being quite subjective, and the methodology used is of the
ranking company, should it not be on a rating system? Some universities lower
down the table may have aspects of their university/programs to be much
better than many above them. The overall average reduces their chances. at
www.alumnireviews.com the alumni are the ones who rate various aspects of
their university and course (out of 7 stars). Surely rates are the way forward.

It seems that the 'best' Universities are not genuinely interested in Education.
After all there is this attempt to cherry-pick those who have either the abilities
or resources to succeed and then piggy-back their achievements to acquire
Kudos for the University, and then providing that Kudos to those who can
afford to buy it by studying at the institution.
After all Yale one of the USA and World's best Universities graduated George
W Bush, whilst Oxford graduated George Osbourne, and Cambridge Louse
Mensch - none of whom could reasonably be mistaken for highly intelligent
individuals

These rankings haven't changed much over the last 10 years, which is not
reflective of worldly realities. Universities such as Todai (Univ of Tokyo) or
Cornell are not truly in the global running. That is a US-centric perspective.
As though the methodology were not already suspect based on that, the
Einsteins behind this have managed to put Beijing (Peking) Univ much further
down the list than "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zrich", which is so
close to "University of Massachusetts".
Get off that bong, researchers. This is a joke. Universum or QS have much
more credible rankings.

Isn't it a bit odd that the Guardian, which spends so much time elsewhere
denouncing league tables for schools (and pointing out, quite accurately, how
flawed is their methodology, how destructive their impact) should get
enthusiastic about the same thing for universities? If it is difficult to compare
schools in the same country teaching in the same language and using the same
curriculum and exams, what possible meaning can there be to any attempt to
compare universities which have very little in common at all? What weighting
is given to the cadre admitted as students? how much depends on teaching and
on research output? How do you assess and compare the quality of any
course? What balance is there between arts, sciences and social sciences? How
do you compare the results for graduates between an enormous developing
economy like China and a small mature one like Switzerland? Tweak any of
your inputs and you get whatever output you want. It is, in fact, all pretty
meaningless....

I must concur with:
"999Jasper
15 March 2012 10:54PM
Pitt, Ohio State and Purdue come out ahead of Brown? Really? Really? This
list seems pretty meaningless once you get beyond the top 20."
I had the good fortune, and perhaps grace from above, to get into the 1st, 2nd
(twice), 4th, and 25th. I went instead to the 80th, Brown University, and have
been happy my whole adult life for making what was an unusually wise
decision for a wet-behind-the-ears kid. Uncles and a grandfather taught at
everyone of the three schools 999Jasper mentions. They're fine universities but
don't light a candle next to Brown. I could write ten paragraphs specifically
why, knowing all these schools, but suffice it to say, this seems a very arbitrary
list that favors big schools with older reputations.
