In a ranking of the best universities worldwide, the University of Bayreuth was once again deemed a leading institution with internationally visible teaching and research. The newly published ranking by the London-based magazine Times Higher Education (THE for short) includes 980 universities around the world. Among the top ranking institutions in Germany, the University of Bayreuth was once again 27th.
In 2015, the University was able to advance to ranking group 251–300 – not least because the collection of data was adapted to better fit the ranking standards established in English-speaking countries. In the Times Higher Education World University Ranking 2016, the University of Bayreuth managed to defend this position, which had represented a marked improvement over prior years. The University achieved an equal or better score in each of the relevant categories of the global ranking compared to last year. In particular, the scores relating to scientific research achievements and cooperation with technology-driven companies represented an improvement to the 2015 results.
“The THE ranking is a leading global higher education ranking, which has continually refined its methodology over the past years and tailored it to fit the global landscape of higher education. We are therefore all the more pleased that the University of Bayreuth has consolidated its position in this leading international group,” explained University President Prof. Dr. Stefan Leible. “The latest results provide impetus for us to continue to develop our international profile in research and teaching.”
The interdisciplinary, English-taught master’s programmes set to launch in Winter Semester 2016/17, for example, will provide fresh impetus to further improve Bayreuth’s international visibility. Another factor is the number of doctorates successfully completed, which the THE ranking considers in relation to the number of academic staff members. One reason why the University of Bayreuth was once again able to score well in the THE ranking category “teaching” is the long-time commitment it has shown to supporting junior researchers from Germany and abroad.
At almost the same time, another higher education ranking (organizationally and methodologically unrelated to the THE ranking) was published: the “QS Top 50 Under 50” ranking, conducted by the company QS in cooperation with a panel of scientific experts. This ranking only considers universities around the world which are less than 50 years old. Compared to other German universities in this ranking, the University of Bayreuth was ranked 3rd behind the Universities of Ulm and Bremen.
