Some 12 universities are in the global top 200, with nine improving on their 2020 position
The newcomer is Macquarie U, which joins the top 200 group at =195th.
UNSW also does well, again – it was 96th in 2018, 71st last year and is 67th this – the slope gets sleeper the higher up the top-100 a university climbs.
UTS is also strong, up 34 places on last year.
And Uni Canberra has another win. Last year there was scepticism when it cracked the top 200 (193) with suggestions that there was some statistical good fortune in its rapid rise – it only made the world first 500 in 2016. But Uni Canberra has improved again, to 184th. (Leigh Sullivan explained how it happened last year in CMM, (September 12 2019).
Overall, it’s bragging rights as usual in the top 200; Uni Melbourne-31 in the world (=32 last year, =32 in 2018 and =32 in 2017). Uni Sydney-=51 (60, 59,61). ANU– 59 (50,49,48). Uni Queensland– =62 (66,69,65). Monash U =64 (=75, 84, 80). UNSW-67 (71,9691). Uni Adelaide– =118 (120, =135, 134). UWA-=139, (131, 134, 111). UTS-=160 (194, 196, 201-250). Uni Canberra-=184 (193, 251-300, 351-400). QUT-186 (179, 201-250, 201-250). Macquarie U– =195, (201-250, 251-300, (CMM could not find the 2017 score).
