Ranking das melhores universidades

A Times Higher Education (THE), instituição baseada em Londres, divulgou ontem (10) o ranking das melhores universidades em reputação do mundo. O ranking foi montado a partir de uma pesquisa somente para convidados de mais de 13 mil professores de 131 países do mundo e reforça a posição dominante das instituições dos EUA e consagra boa reputação de universidades do Reino Unido e do Japão. O índice faz parte do ranking das melhores universidades do mundo divulgado pela THE em setembro do ano passado. A Universidade de Harvard, nos Estados Unidos, obteve a pontuação máxima no ranking. O Brasil não tem nenhuma instituição entre as 100 melhores. Rússia (Universidade Lomonosov de Moscou), China (universidades Tsinghua, Pequim e Hong Kong) e Cingapura e Hong Kong também aparecem com instituições entre as 50 melhores do ranking. Veja aqui o ranking completo.
