UOW listed in Top 500 Jiao Tong rankings
2 Aug 2007 | Renee Criddle
The University of Wollongong has moved into the Top 500 academic rankings of world universities by the respected Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
The rankings are strongly weighted in favour of research.
The Institute scans universities that have Nobel Laureates, field medals, highly cited researchers, or papers published in the prestigious Nature or Science magazines.
In addition, the Institute scans major universities of every country with a significant number of articles indexed in major citation indices.
In total, more than two thousand universities were scanned for eligibility.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gerard Sutton, said the ranking was a testament to UOW’s successful research base and growing reputation.
