Each Course Search entry shows a rank profile. Information is published for every domestic entry undergraduate course that uses the selection rank wholly or partly, in the tertiary admission process to provide more statistical information for prospective students and applicants. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 include more than 1,500 universities across 93 countries and regions, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date. The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching. This conference ranking has been created as part of the Excellence in Research in Australia (ERA). The ranking was created by Australian deans and the Australian Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia (CORE). The rankings range from A (=best) to C (=worst).
Shape of Science. The Shape of Science is an information visualization project whose aim is to reveal the structure of science. Its interface has been designed to access the bibliometric indicators database of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank portal. Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members. The media members were asked to vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound.

Asu Rank Information
After the publication of the World University Rankings 2021, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI informed us that they had submitted, and signed off, incorrect academic staff, international academic staff, student and international student numbers in Life Sciences and Physical Sciences in THE’s data portal. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy, and we agreed, at our discretion, to re-calculate MEPhI’s score based on a corrected data submission. The revision has not affected the university’s ranking position overall. The university’s corrected position in the Physical Sciences subject ranking is 98.
Information Rank
After the publication of the World University Rankings 2021, we were informed that an affiliation had been incorrectly assigned in the Elsevier bibliometric profile of Government College Women University Faisalabad, resulting in their inclusion in the ranking. After recalculating the publication count based on the correct affiliations, Government College Women University Faisalabad did not reach the publication threshold and therefore should not have been included in the World University Rankings. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy and we have removed the institution from the ranking.
As per THE's rankings correction policy, the amendment made only affects the university in question. We do not rerun the complete ranking. All other universities maintain their original rank.
