It is the holy grail of governments and university leaders alike – and, in fact, anyone in charge of a budget: getting the most value for your money.
Now new analysis from Times Higher Education, using World University Rankings data, can reveal which countries get the most “bang for their buck” from their university systems.
THE’s data scientists have given each institution in the rankings a score by using three income metrics – institutional income, research income and industry income – and comparing them with the scores for research, teaching and working with industry.
By then zooming out to country level averages, we can gain a broad view of which countries’ university systems are eking the most out of their revenue.
