The annual list ranks the top 200 universities worldwide, and is based on 13 performance indicators separated into five categories: teaching, research, citations, industry income and international outlook.
U-M is one of only three public institutions in the U.S. in the top 20. The others are University of California, Berkeley (15) and UC, Los Angeles (17).
The London-based higher education magazine worked with Thomson Reuters to produce “World University Rankings 2018-2019.”
The ranking is one of two released annually by Times Higher Education. Earlier this year, U-M was ranked 15th in the organization’s annual Reputation Rankings, which are based on results from an invitation-only survey of scholars from around the world.

U of Toronto was #21. Congratulations. More cooperative ventures with our brothers in Ontario welcomed, but that’s true for lots of other places too, like Madison, Ohio state, Michigan state, Wisconsin.
