UPHF ranked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022!

This first participation in the world university ranking Times Higher Education (THE) 2022 is a success for UPHF.

This includes 1,662 universities (2 100 applied) across 99 countries and territories, making it the largest and most diverse university ranking to date.

Institutions must meet three key criteria to be included in the ranking:

  • Publish a sufficient number of academic articles over a 5-year period - threshold of 1,000 articles.
  • Teach undergraduate students.
  • Work on a broad range of topics.

3 sources of information are used to compile the Times Higher Education  world university rankings:

  1. Institutional data provided directly by higher education institutions,
  2. The bibliometric data provided by their partner Elsevier from their 'Scopus' bibliometric database,
  3. The University Reputation THE survey sent directly to academics. This survey examines the perceived prestige of institutions in teaching and research.

The result is based on 13 indicators that measure an institution's performance in five areas  teaching (30%), research (30%), knowledge transfer and research influence (30%), international outreach (7.5%) and innovation (2.5%).

This year, the ranking THE includes 39 French institutions. France is ranked 7th in the world, gaining one place compared to the previous ranking, with 3 institutions ranked in the TOP 100 and 1 in the TOP 50.

The minister noted with interest the four entries in the ranking  Arts et Métiers (801-1000), Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (1001-1200), Université de Pau (1201+) and Jean Moulin Université - Lyon 3 (1201+).

Note that at the scale of the Region Hauts-de-France, UPHF is among the 3 institutions ranked in THE World University Rankings 2022.
