Newsweek's Top 100 Global Universities


Harvard, Standford, Yale, Caltech, UC Berkeley. These are the top five universities in the world, according to Newsweek. Cambridge (#6) and Oxford (#8) are the only non-US universities in the Top Ten.

Japan still reigns in Asia, with Tokyo (#16), Kyoto (#29), Osaka (#57), Tohoku (#68), and Nagoya (#94). Elsewhere in Asia, Singapore has NUS (#36) and NTU (#71), while Hong Kong has HKU (#69), UST HK (#60), and CUHK (#96).

Switzerland, Australia and Canada each have a number of universities on the list, notably Toronto University (#18), the FIT campuses in Zurich (#21) and Lausanne (#26), and Australian National University (#38). The University of London system is represented by Imperial College (#17), UCL (#25), LSE (#34), and King's College (#85).

Do ratings matter? I think they do because it is important for schools to maintain the quality of education.

But you have to check the criteria.
