Britains leading higher education publication, The Times Higher Education, Thursday released its 2012 reputation rankings for universities worldwide.

Only three countries are represented i n t h e t o p 1 0 Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States with Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, and China landing institutions in the top 30. Hong Kong, Germany, and Australia squeezed into the top 50, and India once again fared poorly in the rankings, not even registering in the top 100.

Nearly 31,000 academics from 149 countries have contributed to the Academic Reputation Survey since it was launched in 2010. To build the rankings, senior academics from a range of disciplines weigh in on which universities they see as the strongest in teaching and research in their respective fields.

The rankings are no doubt subjective, relying on the perspectives of career academics on a predetermined list of 6,000 universities, but Times notes that in an increasingly globalized education market, esteem does matter, helping institutions retain top talent and giving the degrees of alumni more weight.
