Access the most international universities of 2017 (out on 1 Feb 2017)

The best universities in the world are truly global institutions – ones that attract students and scholars from all over the world and collaborate with leading departments no matter where they are based.

All of the universities that feature in our World University Rankings place internationalisation high on their agenda. But which ones are the most international?

Qatar University tops the list, which is based on the results of the “international outlook” indicator in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-2016, while the UK is the nation that does the best on this measure overall.

The international outlook indicator considers each institution’s proportion of international staff, proportion of international students and proportion of research papers published with at least one co-author from another country. All the institutions that feature in the top 800 of the overall 2015-2016 ranking have been considered.

Below is a list of the 200 most international universities in the world. Visit the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-2016 to see the results for all 800 institutions and view the full methodology.

Who on earth would rank University of Leeds ahead of Stanford University?
#2 Submitted by lukas.mer on 一月 14, 2016 - 10:58am
This ranking is kind of stupid because it favors universities from small countries. "Countries" such as Quatar, Luxemburg, or Hong Kong have almost automatically a lot of foreigners studying there. Also, the ranking does not seem to take international diversity into account. Vienna for example may have a large share of foreigners but most of them will be German which doesnt really make it an international place. So adjust for country size and add a measure of diversity!

HKU is No 3, but the next Hong Kong university is at No 106 - so I wouldn't say it has grossly helped Hong Kong, especially since it's one of the cities with the best universities in the world (HKU, HKUST, CUHK, City, Polytechnic, HKBU, HKIED), albeit usually rank higher on QS. The fact Singapore, a smaller city both by size and population, does not perform nearly as well is a proof of that. This is, of course, without pointing out the fact that Hong Kong has almost 8 million people, which is a population much bigger than that of Scotland's, Iceland's, The Bahamas's, Luxemburg's, Macedonia's, Slovenia's, Jamaica's, Uruguay's, Georgia's, Lebanon's, Oman's, Ireland's, New Zealand's, Slovakia's, Finland's, Denmark's, Libya's, Lao's, Jordan's, Serbia's, Qatar's etc. and is similar to Swizerland's, Belgaria's etc. There also aren't that many international students in Hong Kong. HKU has by far the most but I recall it tops out at below 30%. It ranks out mostly due to Chinese academics, not due to the students.

Qatar over Cambridge? Auckland over MIT? While I'm gratified Imperial is international in outlook, this list shouldn't be construed as a metric of quality. Also, "proportion of international staff, proportion of international students and proportion of research papers published with at least one co-author from another country" measure three very different attributes. The proportion of international students, in the US, commonly reflects inability to recruit PhD students within the US, where other training paths or careers might be more attractive.

Hilarious!!! Imho it's pure nonsense to present your in such a ranking, because these data have no sense in se. Really hilarious the Qatar University leading the ranking! Ahahah, in Qatar less than 15% of the population has Qatari nationality... what would you expect? To have only Qataris in the main University of the country? On top of that, Qatar Univeristy is the symbol of Qatarization of the country, not of interazionalization at all! I know now how to make my University very international according to 色盒直播: deprive most of the citizens of my country of their citizenship! Isn't it a smart idea? As already pointed out by lukas.mer, the *diversity* should be the indicator that you should survey. -.-

If you look at it closely, actually if you take the list only comparing universities within their own countries, it's in line with most other general rankings.
#7 Submitted by rbrindley_257565 on 一月 14, 2016 - 7:30pm
How can eight of the top 12 universities in the world be in the United States (according to the 色盒直播) but only eight of the top 200 be ranked for their international outlook. The methodology must be fundamentally flawed - as my research prof. once said, "if you put rubbish in, you will get rubbish out." I am so sorry that the once venerable Times of London has stooped this low to publish and make money. This kind of populist approach, lacking in any serious forethought, threatens to undermine your reputation as the world's leading survey of higher education. Please be careful!

The criteria here may correlate with internationalisation with all the inherent merits without necessarily correlating with bestness.

The British universities are not international. They come under European Union. They give first preference to European Union citizens. They are not even considering the citizens of the British Commonwealth. It is utter falsehood to claim that British universities are international.

Hi. Data released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency yesterday shows that the total number of non-EU enrolments across all levels of study in UK universities rose by 1 per cent in 2014-15, from 310,195 to 312,010 people.

Thanks for all your comments - I'm the editor of the 色盒直播 World University Rankings. Firstly, I think we need to be very clear, rbrindley_257565, that this is not a money making exercise, but an exercise in transparency. The annual 色盒直播 World University Rankings, last published on 1 October 2015, employ 13 separate performance indicators covering the full range of a university's activities - teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. They are widely acknowledged as the gold standard in global university evaluation, and a powerful indicator of all-round excellence. This table is simply a cut of the overall World University Rankings data, designed to encourage people to look beyond the composite scores, and drill down into the data. This table simply looks at the three indicators that make up "international outlook" - the proportion of international student, international faculty, and internationally co-authored papers - nothing more, nothing less. These simply help us to get a sense of how international a university is, against these simple, but powerful, indicators. They are not a proxy for excellence, but they nevertheless help us get a deeper and richer understanding of the global higher education landscape, and raise interesting questions about the role of geography and money, for example. It is my view that a university's international outlook is key to its potential - universities are all about talent, so an ability to draw in talent from all over the world is vital.

So, one of the measures for this 'data collection' fad is the number of internationally co-authored papers. Never mind what is in them, whether this is based on quality or not. Clearly, smaller countries that have not so many academics of their own, will recruit from outside. Scotland is a good example for that. I enjoy the international profile of my faculty, but what does it measure? Nothing much at all. It is presented as a great achievement by a university to be high up on such a league table, but if we are honest as academics, we know how meaningless it is! Just as most KPIs that are now used against academic freedom and true excellence, and against the idea of a what university really means. Just go and read some Humboldt!

@k.friedrich: Why can you not just take the data and appreciate it at face value ? I think it is an instructive and valuable exercise to look at these metrics, and whether you like it or not, governments use these metrics aswell for important decision making.

What about Jacobs University Bremen? (students from more than 110 different nationalities and a ratio of at least 75% international students at undergraduate level)

Hi sergidrago_279558. Jacobs University Bremen was not anaylsed as it is not in the top 800 of our World University Rankings
#16 Submitted by burgert.blom_286542 on 三月 23, 2016 - 3:36pm
I have a question: why is it that German universities perform so poorly in this index ? Only one on the list, although they sell themselves as being very international. Any comment on this ? it is striking when one looks at the list...
#17 Submitted by Anaklusmos_934 on 四月 12, 2016 - 10:29pm
Have you heard about Minerva Schools at KGI? 78% international students from 35+ countries living in 7 different cities in the four years of the degree as part of their studies. Hard to get more global than that.
