糖心Vlog官方 placed 53rd in Times Higher Education World University Rankings
In the week that 糖心Vlog官方 is hosting the prestigious World Academic Summit, the University has been ranked 53rd out of more than 2,000 institutions in the latest .
The rankings are developed based on responses to questionnaires sent to the world鈥檚 leading academics and take into account these senior figures鈥� opinions. They assess research-intensive universities across 18 performance indicators, which are divided into five pillars covering their core missions of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and internationalisation.
The University - one of only twelve UK Universities in the top 100 - fell slightly from 51st place in 2023. Manchester is also ranked the 6th best university in the UK and 52nd in the world in the Academic Ranking of World Universities, with the University鈥檚 social and environmental impact ranked in the top ten globally (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings).
The last 12 months have seen a raft of major developments and initiatives at Manchester. The University has marked its bicentenary with a huge number of events across campus celebrating 200 years of learning, innovation and research. Unit M, a new capability to drive the University鈥檚 approach to innovation, was launched at the World Academic Summit. Staff, students, alumni and partners are currently participating in Manchester 2035, the University鈥檚 bold new strategy for the next decade.
Whilst rankings don鈥檛 measure everything we value, Manchester鈥檚 place among the world鈥檚 top universities is testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire community. We excel in pioneering research, outstanding teaching, and social responsibility and it has been exciting to share our campus and city with delegates at this week鈥檚 Summit.
President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Duncan Ivison said: "Whilst rankings don鈥檛 measure everything we value, Manchester鈥檚 place among the world鈥檚 top universities is testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire community. We excel in pioneering research, outstanding teaching, and social responsibility and it has been exciting to share our campus and city with delegates at this week鈥檚 Summit.鈥�
鈥淗owever, we recognise there is always room for improvement. Collectively, over the next decade, we need to be more impactful, more engaged, more innovative, and more committed to excellence than we have ever been in our history. This is the vision that is inspiring us as we begin to develop our new Manchester 2035 strategy over the coming months.鈥�
Phil Baty, Times Higher Education鈥檚 chief global affairs officer, said: 鈥淲hile, overall, the picture of UK higher education in our rankings is positive, the sector is being battered by numerous prevailing winds. Chief amongst them is the extremely stretched finances it is facing and the restrictions on recruiting international students making it harder for them still, making it almost impossible to see how the sector can sustain its position in the coming years without significant help.
鈥淲e have heard positive words from education secretary Bridget Phillipson, which is very encouraging for the sector. We hope this more positive environment will translate for better news for UK HE which has somehow stayed world-leading despite the extremely tough funding environment it finds itself in.鈥�
