The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003. Since then, it has been published annually.
ARWU experts consider all universities that have famous alumni, including Nobel Prize winners and researchers whose articles have been published in reputable scientific journals (for example, Nature).
Universities are evaluated based on several criteria:
- the quality of education and faculty (this includes support staff, teaching staff and researchers);
- research results and scientific publications;
- academic performance of the institution.
