HEC leader mondial de la formation des dirigeants : en quoi est-ce important ?

Blog Focus Campus de Jean-Claude Lewandowski. Ce n'est qu'un classement, dira-t-on, qui vient d'être publié. Un de plus dans la longue série qui s'égrène au fil de l'année, et dont la presse anglo-saxonne fait son miel. A prendre avec circonspection, donc. Que dit-il ? Qu'HEC arrive en tête au plan mondial pour l'ensemble de l'"executive education" - autrement dit, les programmes de formation des cadres et dirigeants. En l'occurrence, HEC est classée par le "Financial Times" au 2ème rang mondial (derrière Duke University et devant l'Iese) pour les programmes "sur mesure", et au 3ème rang (derrière l'IMD de Lausanne et Chicago Booth) pour les cycles inter-entreprises. En combinant ces deux résultats, c'est donc bien l'école de Jouy-en-Josas qui occupe la première marche du podium, selon le "FT".
Un classement de plus, donc. Mais celui-ci est important, et vraiment révélateur. Dans cette période où le french bashing est roi, où l'auto-flagellation est si largement répandue, voilà enfin une nouvelle positive. Pour trois raisons. Suite...

"Die deutsche Politik ist besessen von Rankings"

Ein Interview von Anne-Kathrin Gerstlauer. Die irische Forscherin Ellen Hazelkorn sagt, Hochschulrankings würden überschätzt. Ihre Forderung: Ranglisten und Unis sollten sich weniger an Elite orientieren.
ZEIT ONLINE: Frau Hazelkorn, Sie erforschen seit Jahren die Bedeutung von Hochschulrankings. Diese wollen die Qualität von Forschung und Lehre bewerten. Warum gibt es immer mehr internationale und nationale Ranglisten?
Ellen Hazelkorn: Wir leben in einer mobilen Welt, in der Länder ständig um Investitionen und Talente kämpfen. Internationale Rankings sind ein Anker für Nationen geworden, die sich untereinander messen wollen. Universitäten sind ein Indikator dafür, wie gut die Wirtschaft in einem Land funktioniert. Deshalb will jeder Elite-Unis in seinem Land, die weltweit bekannt sind. Mehr...

News: U-Multirank launched yesterday

Sheffield University rated best place to be a student? You'd better believe it

By Laura Kay. The Times Higher Education survey results are no surprise: Sheffield is inclusive, welcoming and joyfully cheap.
The response I receive from many uninformed people when I reveal that I went to university in Sheffield ranges from surprise and polite mumbling about steel to a not remotely concealed it's-grim-up-north face, along with a confused "why?"
Well, those who have been a student in Sheffield, or indeed have visited the city for a significant amount of time, will know the answer. Rated number one in this year's Times Higher Education Student Experience survey, the University of Sheffield is quite rightly being recognised for being a fantastic place to study in a poll that isn't exclusively focused on academia.

Sheffield University ranks top for 'student experience'

By Josie Gurney-Read. The University of Sheffield ranks highest for "student experience", while universities in the capital make up half of the bottom 20, according to results released today. Gone are the days when universities would concern themselves exclusively with their academic offering. Now, with many institutions competing for school leavers, the “student experience” features just as highly on the higher education agenda.
Today the Times Higher Education (THE) releases the results of its student experience survey, based on responses from over 14,000 full time undergraduate students in 111 institutions across the UK. Read more...

University: High marks for teaching but could do better at research

The University of Malta gets good grades in teaching and learning but has been marked as “weak” in research and knowledge transfer.
In an EU-financed report ranking 850 universities worldwide on their performance in a number of areas, the Msida campus scored B grades in teaching and learning, particularly on Bachelor and Masters graduation rates and graduating on time.
However, the university scores badly when it comes to research.
The Maltese university was only awarded A grades in international orientation and income from regional sources, particularly due to the fact that many foreign students are choosing Malta for their courses.
The study, called U-Multirank, was conducted by an independent consortium of institutions led by Germany’s Centre for Higher Education and the Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies in the Netherlands. More...
