The Seventh Annual U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities Rankings were produced to provide insight into how universities compare globally. Since an increasing number of students plan to enroll in universities outside of their own country, the Best Global Universities rankings – which focus specifically on schools’ academic research and reputation overall and not on their separate undergraduate or graduate programs – can help those applicants accurately compare institutions around the world.
The overall Best Global Universities rankings encompass nearly 1,500 top institutions spread across 86 countries, up from 81 countries last year. This year, Mahidol University is ranked #511 in Best Global Universities. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence.
