About the THE Ranking
The THE University Ranking is based on 13 performance indicators in the areas of research, teaching, citations, international outlook and procurement of external funding from industry and commerce. The two most important factors are the survey of more than 10,000 university researchers concerning teaching and research and bibliometric indicators such as publications and citations – which each account for around one third of the overall score.
