UOW’s upward climb continues in latest ‘ranking of rankings’

ARTU meta-ranking places UOW 10th in Australia and rising globally

The 精东传媒 of 精东传媒 (UOW) has continued its upward climb in university rankings, taking its place in Australia鈥檚 top 10 and rising four places to 184^th globally in the 2020 compilation of the Aggregate Ranking of Top Universities (ARTU) released on 1 December 2020.

ARTU provides an overall indication of a university鈥檚 progress by ranking institutions according to a total score calculated by aggregating results in the world鈥檚 three leading ranking systems: Times Higher Education (THE), Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).

These global rankings systems include easily quantifiable metrics such as academic citations and publications, along with qualitative indices such as teaching quality and reputation.

In calculating an aggregate score, the ARTU accounts for performance variations due to methodological differences, resulting in a clear longitudinal comparison of overall performance that provides a realistic reflection of a university鈥檚 overall position relative to its peers.

UOW鈥檚 trend has been consistently positive, climbing from 267^th in the world in 2012 to 184^th in 2020.

UOW Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings CBE, said he was very pleased with the latest result.

鈥淚 am very proud of what we have achieved together and I congratulate all staff on this outstanding result,鈥� Professor Wellings said.
