The U.K. based Times Higher Education (THE) Supplement released the THE/QS annual international ranking of higher education institutions for 2009. The first THE/QS ranking was published five years ago, therefore the methodology has been refined over the years allowing for less volatility from year to year. This year a new typology, similar to the Carnegie Classification in the U.S., accompanies the ranking table to highlight institutional characteristics including size, scope, and research intensiveness. Many debate the impact and methodology of international ranking systems. What do you think???
