Dutch universities are once again strongly represented in the rankings: in total, seven Dutch universities have a place in the top 100. The UvA is the second highest ranked Dutch university. As with last year, Wageningen University & Research is the highest placed Dutch institution at 59.
The top three worldwide are University of Oxford, Harvard University and University of Cambridge.
Times Higher Education bases the rankings on a total of thirteen performance indicators in five different categories: Teaching (30%), Research (30%), Citations (30%), International outlook (7.5%) and Industry income (2.5%). The UvA’s strongest category, compared to all of the ranked universities, was in the Research category.
