Blog Focus Campus de Jean-Claude Lewandowski. Le "Financial Times" vient de publier son classement annuel des "masters en finance" pré-expérience - autrement dit, des programmes spécialisés en un an, destinés à de jeunes diplômés. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'en ce domaine, les établissements de l'Hexagone réalisent un véritable carton. L'école classée en tête est HEC, dont la MSc "International Finance" confirme ainsi sa première place déjà obtenue l'an dernier. L'Edhec arrive juste derrière, au troisième rang pour sa MSc "Financial Markets", qui grappille une place. Et c'est l'Essec, avec son "Advanced Master in Financial Techniques", qui se classe 4ème. Trois programmes de l'Hexagone figurent ainsi dans les cinq premiers du palmarès. Suite...

Découvrez le Palmarès Erasmus des universités dynamiques
Depuis 2008, l'Agence 2E2F publie un « Palmarès Erasmus » des universités.
Ce palmarès innove en mesurant les universités les plus dynamiques en termes de mobilité : proportion des mobilités d'études sortantes rapportée à l'effectif global de l'université. Il s'agit du premier classement en valeur relative, permettant de contourner le biais induit par les gros contingents d'étudiants envoyés par les universités de grande taille.Des établissements de taille moyenne se retrouvent en tête du classement. Ainsi l'Université de Savoie arrive, chaque année, très nettement en tête de ce palmarès. Les établissements bougent régulièrement dans le classement, bien que l'on retrouve majoritairement les mêmes établissements d'une année sur l'autre dans le top 10. Ces établissements ont des profils très différents : taille, contexte socio-économique, disciplines représentées…
La réalisation de ce palmarès s'inscrit dans les missions de gestion des programmes et de promotion de l'Agence Europe Education Formation France (2E2F). Elle mène un travail d'expertise et d'évaluation des dispositifs et des projets en les mettant en perspective ; à titre d'exemple, le site Statistics for all développé par l'agence 2E2F met à la disposition des professionnels comme du grand public des statistiques et des cartes sur un ensemble de 13 pays européens contributeurs de données. Ce site donne le classement des universités en fonction du nombre de mobilités réalisées ou selon les fonds alloués : http://www.statisticsforall.eu/higher-education-rankings.php
Le palmarès Erasmus des universités apparaît dans le dixième numéro de Soleoscope (juin 2014). Réalisé en partenariat avec Campus France, il interroge le poids de l'Europe dans la mobilité internationale, celui du programme Erasmus dans la mobilité européenne et, plus spécifiquement, la place de la France dans ces dispositifs.

U-MultiRank ambitious, but lacking critical mass to face up to World University Rankings
Times Higher Education rankings editor Phil Baty outlined his initial views on the European Commission’s new project to rank the world’s universities, U-MultiRank, in a letter published by EuroScientist magazine on 9 June 2014. The letter is reproduced in full here.
Back in 2012, the UK’s universities and science minister David Willetts warned that the European Commission’s project to develop a new approach to global university rankings, U-MultiRank, risked being dismissed as a self-serving exercise.
It could be viewed as “an attempt by the Commission to fix a set of rankings in which European universities do better than they appear to do in the conventional rankings”, he told a House of Lords European Union Committee inquiry on the modernisation of higher education. Two years on, now that the first ranking is live and we can see which institutions have – and more importantly which have not – chosen to join the bold experiment, it would seem that the minister’s warning was remarkably prescient.

The world’s top 30 universities for teaching
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings use 13 separate performance indicators to judge world class universities against all their core missions, including research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. But uniquely among global rankings, the THE rankings also examine a university’s teaching environment.
The rankings employ five separate indicators to cover teaching, which are collectively given a weight of 30 per cent towards the overall ranking score.
The indicators are designed to provide a clear sense of the teaching and learning environment of each institution from both the student and the academic perspective, and they include a faculty-student ratio, an institution’s total resources scaled for its size, the doctorate-to-bachelor’s ratio and the results of the world’s largest invitation-only survey of global academic opinion. You can read the full methodology here. More...

Rankings in Institutional Strategies and Processes (RISP) roundtable
Around 25 university leaders and senior managers from 19 countries across Europe gathered in Brussels on 5 June for a roundtable organised in the framework of the EUA-led project on university rankings entitled: “Rankings in Institutional Strategies and Processes” (RISP). The event was organised in order for the project team to engage in further data collection as well as to discuss and get feedback on the preliminary findings of the RISP project.
Universities worldwide are increasingly being confronted with ranking and classification initiatives both at national and international level. While many institutions have reservations about the methodologies used by the ranking compilers, there is a growing recognition that rankings and classifications are here to stay and many universities feel the need to respond. The RISP project is the first European-wide survey which seeks to analyse the ways in which universities across Europe respond to rankings – consciously or unconsciously – and it will also look in the final report to propose recommendations on how rankings can be used to promote institutional development while also identifying potential pitfalls that the universities should avoid.
The project partners, EUA, the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), the French Rectors’ Conference (CPU) and the Academic Information Centre (AIC) in Latvia, now plan to carry out a detailed analysis of all of the quantitative and qualitative information that has been collected during the project survey, site visits, and roundtable in order to formulate a comprehensive report that will be launched in Brussels in November. More information on the RISP project, which is supported by funding from the EU Lifelong Learning Programme, is available on the project website. More...
