UCT Leaps Up in International Rankings UCT_news: SouthAfrica
"We are deeply proud of our academics and the wider UCT community for the hard and excellent work they do that has led to this result," said UCT Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng."UCT competes globally with institutions that have considerably more resources than we do, which makes this result all the more remarkable."
She added:"As a university in the Global South, we are particularly pleased to retain our standing internationally while at the same time prioritising and serving the critical needs of the Global South and the people living here - priorities which are not usually recognised in global rankings."This year, THE World University Rankings assessed 1 799 institutions across 13 performance indicators in five areas: citations , research , teaching , international outlook and industry income .
In the area of research - its volume, income and reputation - UCT also ranked in the top 200 globally. The university's performance improved for two indicators: the research reputation survey and the ratio of papers to academic staff. The former demonstrates UCT's growing positive reputation among leading international academics.
UCT's scores increased in four of the five indicators for teaching : the teaching reputation survey, the ratio for doctorate degrees awarded to academic staff, the ratio of students to academic staff and the ratio of institutional income to academic staff. UCT's score in the fifth indicator - ratio of doctorates to bachelor's degrees awarded - dropped only slightly, by 0.1 points.
