University Ranking

We are the University Ranking Organization. We rank the Top Colleges and Universities in the world. This includes the top colleges in the United States, Canada Germany, Korea, Australia, across Europe and more. Our ranking algorithm classifies the best universities in the world and places them within College Tiers. While our ranking may shift from year to year, the College Tiers are somewhat stable, they are more broad and rarely change in relation to the quality of academics provided by a given institution as a whole. University Ranking does have bias and may change from perspective to perspective. Colleges Tiers moderate this bias through grouping.

A Top University ranking does not necessarily reflect on a University’s ability to provide quality courses in a given subject matter. Some Universities are strong in Research & Science whereas others may excel in Business. University programs at a given college can vary greatly in quality and depend on the faculty and other factors. Therefore, please do your research and pick your University & Program wisely. It is not always about the best College in the world, but rather the best University for you. See Research your Future.
