7 Why rank? Rankings perform a helpful function Rankings encourage institutions to move beyond their internal conversations to participate in broader national and international discussions Rankings foster collaboration, such as research partnerships, student and faculty exchange programmes Rankings prompt change in areas that directly improve student learning Source: US Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP).

10 The four key pillars: Teaching Knowledge Transfer Global outlook Research Source/footnotes goes in this space here at 10pt - 8pt Helvetica

11 Thomson Reuters Stakeholder survey 92% said faculty output (publications) was a must have/nice to have 91% said that faculty impact (citations) was a must have/nice to have 86% said they wanted faculty/student ratios 84% said they wanted data on income from research grants 79% said they wanted a peer reputation measure Source: New Outlooks on Institutional Profiles, Thomson Reuters, 2009

20 Reactions to the World University Rankings methodology Times Higher Education rankings now increasingly seen as the gold standard. Ferdinand Von Prondzynski, Vice Chancellor, Robert Gordon University The new methodology employed by Times Higher Education is less heavily weighted towards subjective assessments of reputation and uses more robust citation measures. This bolsters confidence in the evaluation method. Steve Smith, Vice Chancellor, Exeter University I congratulate THE for reviewing their methodology to produce this new picture of the best in higher education. David Willetts, UK minister for universities

26 The results : India "The IITs and IIMs are the only Indian 'name brand' in higher education. For almost half a century, they have maintained high standards of quality and have produced bright graduates who have made their marks worldwide. Their faculty members have produced some excellent research. But these institutions are not really universities - they are small, quite specialised institutions that provide mainly undergraduate education. Philip Altbach, director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College.
