THE IMPACT RANKINGS Times Higher Education
The Impact Rankings 2022
The Impact Rankings are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We use carefully calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.
The 2022 Impact Rankings is the fourth edition and the overall ranking includes 1,406 universities from 106 countries/regions.
The overall ranking is led by an Australian institution: Western Sydney University.
In second place is the US’s Arizona State University and third is Western University in Canada.
No one country dominates the top 10, with universities from the UK, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Japan also featuring.
The top institutions from an emerging economy are King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia and University Sains Malaysia, in joint fourth place.
The Impact Rankings are inherently dynamic: they are growingly rapidly each year as many more universities seek to demonstrate their commitment to delivering the SDGs by joining our database; and they allow institutions to demonstrate rapid improvement year-on-year, by introducing clear new policies, for example, or by providing clearer and more open evidence of their progress. Therefore, we expect and welcome regular change in the ranked order of institutions (and we discourage year-on-year comparisons) as universities continue to drive this urgent agenda.
World University Rankings
THE (Times Higher Education) has been
providing trusted performance data on universities for students and their
families, academics, university leaders, governments and industry, since 2004.
We create university rankings to assess university performance on the global
stage and to provide a resource for readers to understand the different
missions and successes of higher education institutions.
