U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems 2013

Ranking

The 2013 Universitas 21 ranking of national systems of higher education retains the methodology of the 2012 rankings.  The country coverage has been extended to 50 by the inclusion of Saudi Arabia and Serbia.  Data quality has improved significantly since 2012, in some cases occasioned by publicity arising from the inaugural rankings. The countries making the top 10 are the same as in the 2012 rankings except that Singapore has replaced Norway which falls to equal 11th, largely due to a fall in its public expenditure on higher education as a share of GDP.

Full details of the methodology and results can be found in the report which can be downloaded below. The data from this year is also included within the rankings comparison table.
