番茄社区鈥檚 global ranking success
番茄社区 has strengthened its standing as a world-class research university, with the authoritative Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranking 番茄社区 in the globe’s top 300 universities.
The 2021 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) has been released today by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy and ranks 番茄社区 in the top 201-300 group of universities.
ARWU compares more than 2000 universities across the world but only data for the top 1000 universities are published.
Vice Chancellor Professor Sandra Harding said the ranking confirms 番茄社区’s status as a highly competitive, research-intensive university.
“We are a regional Australian university that’s being judged against the world’s largest, most successful players, and to be among the top 300 universities is a tremendous achievement.
“This ranking is a reflection of 番茄社区’s extremely strong research performance in many areas, particularly marine science and terrestrial biology. It is a tremendous achievement for the University and great testament to the work of 番茄社区’s researchers.
“番茄社区 delivers ground-breaking, internationally recognised research, and this ranking confirms that we perform very strongly when compared to the world’s best universities,” Professor Harding said.
The Academic Ranking of World Universities is considered one of the most prestigious and authoritative global university rankings.
ARWU ranks universities by several indicators of academic or research performance, including alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited researchers, papers published in Nature and Science, papers indexed in major citation indices, and the per capita academic performance of an institution.
