The latest international figures show ANU continues to rank among the top universities in the world.
The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) figures for 2005 place ANU 23rd in the global rankings, and second in Australia to the University of Melbourne, which was 19th.
All bar one of the University’s partners in the International Alliance of Research Universities were in the top 25, while most of the Group of Eight were in the top 50.
The largest component of the THES rankings is determined by peer review, which accounts for 40 per cent of a university’s score.
Organisers also introduced a new 10 per cent weighted ‘recruiter review’ category for 2005, which asked international employers for their opinions of universities.
The remainder of the rank is determined by the number of academic citations (20 per cent), staff-to-student ratio (20 per cent), and the number of international staff and students (10 per cent).
ANU is the highest-ranked university in Australia on levels of academic citations and staff-to-student ratio, and remains among the highest for peer review. It also performed well in the individual discpline rankings.
In another 2005 international ranking of universities, compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Institute of Higher Education, ANU is ranked 56th – the highest of any university in the Southern Hemisphere for the third year in a row.
Unlike the THES ranking, the emphasis in this system is on awards won by staff and alumni, such as Nobel prizes, and academic citation levels.
In the Melbourne Institute’s 2005 ranking of the international standing of Australian Universities, ANU tied for first place with the University of Melbourne.
