UCT has been ranked 173rd in the world by the 2024 World University Rankings released on Wednesday, up 64 places compared to the previous year. According to a statement released by the university, its improved performance can be attributed to the change in methodology introduced in this edition of the rankings.
"Both are critical to our mission to create and teach the best of knowledge and, in so doing, contribute towards addressing complex and critical challenges facing our country, our continent, and the world at large. The introduction of employment outcomes is also especially welcome in a country such as South Africa, where higher education institutions have a critical role to play in addressing the vital need to increase employment opportunities," added Reddy.
The university was also ranked 49th in the new international research network indicator, which assesses the richness and diversity of an institution’s international research partnerships.
