LONDON, September 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

In der 13. Auflage der QS World University Rankings, die heute von QS Quacquarelli Symonds auf http://www.topuniversities.com veröffentlich wurden, belegt das Massachusetts Institute of Technology zum bereits fünften Mal in Folge den ersten Platz.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130909/638188 )

Die Technische Universität München bleibt mit Rang 60 Deutschlands Spitzenreiter. Die elf Universitäten der Deutschen Exzellenzinitiative bleiben konkurrenzfähig, denn acht von ihnen haben sich entweder verbessert oder verbleiben innerhalb fünf Position im Vergleich zum letzten Jahr. Damit halten sie den vielen eingebüßten Plätzen zahlreicher Universitäten aus Westeuropa stand.

Die QS World University Rankings bieten Studenten, Eltern, Akademikern und politischen Entscheidungsträgern in diesem Jahr einen Vergleich von 916 Universitäten, von denen erneut 43 aus Deutschland kommen.

Trotz des Abfalls in beiden Metriken für Internationalität bleibt Deutschlands Gesamtverhältnis der International Student Ratio bei ungefähr 1:12. Somit bleibt Deutschland weiterhin ein attraktives Ziel für internationale Studenten und erfüllt auch Zielvorgaben für internationale Immatrikulationen. Jedoch haben sich Universitäten anderen Länder (wie Russland, Australien und Kanada) in diesem Bereich stark verbessert, wodurch Deutschlands niedrigeres Ergebnis zu erklären ist.

Ben Sowter, Forschungsleiter der QS Intelligence Unit, sagt: "Die Rankings in diesem Jahr deuten darauf hin, dass das Level an Investitionen bestimmt, wer sich weiter- oder zurückentwickelt. In Ländern, die ein hohes Level an zielgerichteten Finanzierungen aus öffentlichen Geldern oder Stiftungen bieten, steigen die Hochschulen auf. Entlang dieses Trends gibt es auch ein Zeichen, dass mit der Exzellenzinitiative berücksichtigte Hochschulen ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit in diesem Umfeld wahren können."

Anderswo in der Welt sind in Russland, den USA, Südkorea und Japan erhebliche Verbesserungen in den diesjährigen Rankings zu sehen. Die Stanford University verdrängt die University of Cambridge aus den Top Drei. Somit halten die USA erstmals seit den ersten Rankings in 2004/5 die Plätze eins bis drei. Universitäten aus Westeuropa, inklusive Großbritanniens, tun sich in diesem Jahr schwer.
