The Times Higher Education (THE) magazine has today revealed its 2014/15 world university rankings, using important factors like teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

Cape Town University in South Africa came up as the best/first in Africa but in the world, it came 124 on the table.

The indicators seem very interesting considering the fact that the international outlook and the diversity of the student population were also used; meaning, the Universities in Europe and America with so many foreign students will score well in this area compared to the Asian universities…

For this year, the California Institute of Technology came first for the fourth consecutive year.

Harvard University has retained second place, while the University of Oxford has slipped one place from joint second to third, Stanford University holds fourth place and the University of Cambridge has moved up two places to fifth.

My current University-University of Leicester came 161 on the world list with a total of over 17,000 current student population…
