2013 THE Times Higher Education World University

Reputation Rankings - Australian University Rankings

(added 5th March 2013)
Australia now has six universities in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Reputation
Rankings 2013 top 100, up from four in 2012 with Monash University and UNSW joining the
University of Melbourne, Australian National University, Sydney University, and the University
of Queensland.
Only the US and the UK have more universities in the top 100 of the THE World Reputation
Rankings now that Australia has moved ahead of Japan, Germany, and the Netherlands with its
two new entrants.
The 'Reputation Rankings' system is based on the the results of over 16,000 responses from
senior academics in 150 countries. It began in 2011 so that Times Higher Education couild
release two world university rankings each year rather than the single rankings report released
annually by its competitors. The THE 'Reputation Rankings' joins its 'Academic Rankings' which
are released around the start of October each year but they have been criticised for their obvious
anglo bias in asking mainly western educated and socialised academics working at western
universities which universities they consider to be the best in the world.
Key Features:

University of Melbourne moves from 43 to 39
