TOP cele mai bune 100 universități ale lumii

Business Insider a publicat un nou clasament al universităților din întreaga lume, pentru anul universitar 2011-2012, top realizat de publicația britanică The Times și instituția media Thomson Reuters.

Ca și în clasamentul anterior, primele zece poziții sunt dominate de marile universități americane și britanice.

Clasificarea s-a făcut în funcție de patru parametri de funcționare a instituțiilor, care au ocupat locuri în clasament în funcție de un punctaj acumulat: predare (30% din punctaj), cercetare (30% din punctaj), transfer de informație (32,5%) și parteneriate internaționale (7,5%).

Potrivit top-ului, cea mai bună universitate din lume este California Institute of Technology, urmată de Harvard, după ce anul trecut locurile au fost ocupate invers. Pe următoarele poziții se află instituția americană Stanford, cea britanică, Oxford și Princeton University.

Pe ultimul loc se află universitatea canadiană Alberta iar în fața ei, instituția britanică Sussex.

Majoritatea universităților din clasament sunt americane, urmate de cele britanice și de cele asiatice, doar șapte țări europene(altele decât Marea Britanie) având facultăți în acest top. România nu se regăsește în acest clasament.
