The Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings are a set of annual rankings of the world’s most prestigious universities. The rankings are based on a variety of factors, including teaching, research, citations, international outlook, and industry income. The THE World University Rankings are widely respected and are used by students, academics, and employers to assess the quality of universities around the world.
The THE World University Rankings 2025 have not yet been released, but they are expected to be published in September 2025. The rankings will likely be similar to the THE World University Rankings 2023, which were led by the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
