Times Higher Education Most International Universities 2022

In January 2022, Times Higher Education has just released its annual ranking on the “Most internationalised universities“, listing the 193 top global HEIs according to this specific indicator. THE ranks 21 HEIs more than 2021.

As expected, the great majority is North American, and specifically US-located, while Europe overall is producing an excellent performance 56/193 combined, including the UK (they were 34/170 combined in 2021).

Excellent news for Italy, too, that adds one HEI to the two listed in 2021. The University of Padua entered the chart in position # 132, maybe as a result of the tremendous rise of international students this HEI managed to score in the last years.

The two maybe most prestigious Italian HEIs (Bologna and Rome Sapienza) come 124th and 127th respectively, losing few positions from the 2020 ranking (Bologna -21, Sapienza – 10). IN the 2021 ranking, also, these two institutions had lost positions.

Methodology

The data in Times Higher Education’s ranking of The World’s Most International Universities 2022 are drawn largely from the “international outlook” pillar of the THE  World University Rankings 2022. This takes into account a university’s proportions of international students, international staff and journal publications with at least one international co-author. Each of these elements is given equal weighting in calculating the score for this pillar.

The table adds a fourth component, which makes up 25 per cent of the total score: a university’s international reputation. This is a measure of the proportion of votes from outside the home country that the institution achieved in THE’s annual invitation-only Academic Reputation Survey, which asks leading scholars to name the world’s best universities for teaching and research in their field.

Only institutions that received at least 100 votes in the survey were eligible for inclusion. Universities must also receive at least 50 or at least 10 per cent of available domestic votes to be ranked.

Metrics and weightings:

• 25 per cent: proportion of international staff

• 25 per cent: proportion of international students

• 25 per cent: international co-authorship

• 25 per cent: international reputation
