German University Ranking

Results on global university ranking, this time on the world’s best young universities, have just been released. The University of Konstanz (near Lake Constance) has been ranked # 14, which is an excellent result.

The Times Higher Education-Ranking THE 100 under 50,  published on 31 May, 2012, listed Universität Konstanz to be the best young university within Germany.

Another global ranking, QS Top 50 under 50, placed the same university in 35th place.

First place went to Pohang University of Science and Technology (Postech, South Korea), followed by ETH Lausanne (Switzerland) and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST, China). Next to Universität Konstanz, there are only three more German universities which made it into the list of the best 100, but none of the others made it into the top twenty.

In Germany, only 39 of its public universities are younger than 50 years. This new list, so the publishers of The Times Higher Education-Rankings assert, is meant to bring forth a new class of global universities which could be representative of any future Harvard and Cambridge universities.

30 countries are represented in this ranking. Leading the top is United Kingdom with 20 universities, followed by Australia and the USA. In regards to the number of modern German universities included in the ranking, Germany was placed sixth with four universities to be in the top 100. The sixth place was shared with Canada and France.

The complete list is available at THE 100 under 50 2012 as well as the publication of The Times Higher Education Ranking. To see the Top 50 under 50, click on QS Top 50 under 50
