Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science Specializations Achieve Global Rankings in the 2025 Times Higher Education Ranking

The results of the 2025 Times Higher Education ranking for academic disciplines have revealed that the specializations in Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science have achieved advanced positions on the global scale. The results are as follows:

Physics: Ranked 601-800 globally.

Computer Science: Ranked 801-1000 globally.

Engineering: Ranked 1001-1250 globally.

Ranking Methodology According to the 2025 Times Higher Education Ranking

The Times Higher Education ranking evaluates universities based on 18 indicators, distributed across five main categories:

Teaching: Includes teaching reputation and the student-to-staff ratio.

Research Environment: Focuses on research reputation and productivity.

Research Quality: Measures the impact of research through citations and its scientific influence.

Industry Income: Reflects collaboration with industry and patents.

International Outlook: Evaluates the percentage of international students and staff, as well as global research partnerships.

Discipline-Specific Criteria

The weighting of each category has been adjusted to reflect the nature of each discipline. For example:

In Engineering, more weight is given to research productivity and collaboration with industry.

In Physics, greater emphasis is placed on the impact of scientific research.

To qualify for ranking, universities must publish at least 500 papers over five years in fields such as engineering and physics, and must have a certain percentage of specialized faculty members in each field (e.g., 4% for Engineering and 5% for Physics).

These results highlight the efforts of universities to improve the quality of education and scientific research, enhancing their role in global competition and attracting students and academic partnerships.
