In the same week The University of Manchester proudly hosts the World Academic Summit, the University has been ranked 53rd globally in the latest Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings.
These rankings are based on feedback from leading academics worldwide and evaluate research-intensive universities across 18 performance indicators, which are grouped into five main areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and internationalisation.
The University – one of only twelve UK Universities in the top 100 – fell slightly from 51st place in 2023. Manchester is also ranked the 6th best university in the UK and 52nd in the world in the Academic Ranking of World Universities, with the University’s social and environmental impact ranked in the top ten globally (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings).
President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Duncan Ivison said: “Whilst rankings don’t measure everything we value, Manchester’s place among the world’s top universities is testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire community. We excel in pioneering research, outstanding teaching, and social responsibility and it has been exciting to share our campus and city with delegates at this week’s Summit.”
“However, we recognise there is always room for improvement. Collectively, over the next decade, we need to be more impactful, more engaged, more innovative, and more committed to excellence than we have ever been in our history. This is the vision that is inspiring us as we begin to develop our new Manchester 2035 strategy over the coming months.”
The University has made a series of exciting developments recently, including celebrating 200 years of learning, innovation, and research with events throughout campus and launching Unit M to drive the University’s approach to innovation. Staff, students, alumni, and partners are actively involved in Manchester 2035, the University’s bold new strategy for the next decade.
