LONDEN, September 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Praat mee via #QSWUR 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is voor het vijfde opeenvolgende jaar uitgeroepen tot 's werelds beste universiteit in de dertiende editie van de QS World University Rankings, samengesteld door internationale think tank voor het hoger onderwijs QS Quacquarelli Symonds. Drie Nederlandse universiteiten staan dit jaar niet meer in de Top 100, maar Nederland telt nog steeds 12 van de beste 200 universiteiten van de wereld - het op één na grootste aantal in Europa na het Verenigd Koninkrijk (30) en ver voor Zwitserland (7) en Duitsland (11).

Studenten, academici en beleidsmakers vergeleken dit jaar de prestaties van 916 universiteiten in 81 landen.

De Nederlandse resultaten zijn in lijn met de dalingen die de meerderheid van West-Europese tertiaire onderwijsinstituten dit jaar laten zien. 77% van de Nederlandse universiteiten dalen echter op de ranglijst, vergeleken met een beduidend minder sterke achteruitgang in het Verenigd Koninkrijk (62%), België (63%), Italië (43%) en Frankrijk (46%). Ook in Duitsland is 77% van de universiteiten omlaag gegaan.

Ben Sowter, Head of Research van de QS Intelligence Unit, zoals:  "De ranglijst van 2016/17 laat zien dat het investeringsniveau bepaalt wie vooruitgaat en wie achteruit. Instituten in landen met veel gerichte financiering, via bijvoorbeeld donaties of de staatskas, stijgen. Aan de andere kant, West-Europese landen waar veel bezuinigd wordt op publiek onderzoek verliezen terrein op hun Amerikaanse en Aziatische collega's."

Elders in de wereld vervangt Stanford University de University van Cambridge in de Top Drie, waardoor de Verenigde Staten nu voor het eerst sinds de inaugurele ranglijst van 2004 de gehele Top Drie bezetten. Rusland, China, Zuid Korea en Japan laten noemenswaardige verbetering zien, terwijl het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Duitsland en Italië achterop raken.
