The US News Global Rankings: Germany and China do Well, More Bad News for Russia and India

The US News & World Report is famous for its rankings of American universities and colleges. It has now ventured into the global ranking scene and produced a list of the top 500 global universities. These are research based rankings that do not attempt to assess anything to do with teaching apart from two indicators that count PhDs...
Overall, the USA remains dominant with 134 universities in the top 500. Germany comes second with 42 in the top 500 followed by the United Kingdom with 38 and France with 22. Once again Russia’s performance is poor, only two universities, less than Ireland, Israel or Hong Kong. Among Asian countries, China has 28 universities in the top 500, Japan 17 and India four.
