Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU) is placed in THE World University Rankings 2023, adding a new success in the rankings made by international ranking institutions for universities since 2018. With this success, OMU has been included in THE World University Rankings for the sixth consecutive year. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023 include 1,799 universities across 104 countries and regions, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.

The British ranking organization Times Higher Education’s (THE) World University Rankings 2023 were announced on Wednesday, October 12 this year. OMU managed to be placed in the 1501+ bracket as a result of the intensive efforts and human resources that OMU has systematically directed to research-development and project-oriented studies, innovation, entrepreneurship, quality system, and university-industry cooperation since the 2016 - 2017 academic year.

This year’s ranking analysed over 121 million citations across more than 15.5 million research publications and included survey responses from 40,000 scholars globally. Overall, we collected over 680,000 data points from more than 2,500 institutions that submitted data.

The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

The University of Oxford tops the ranking for the seventh consecutive year. Harvard University remains in second place, but the University of Cambridge jumps from joint fifth last year to joint third.

The US is the most-represented country overall, with 177 institutions, and the most represented in the top 200 (58).

Five countries enter the ranking for the first time – all of them in Africa (Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Mauritius).

Harvard tops the teaching pillar, while Oxford leads the research pillar. Atop the international pillar is the Macau University of Science and Technology.

Overall, 1,799 universities are ranked. A further 526 universities are listed with “reporter” status, meaning that they provided data but did not meet THE’s eligibility criteria to receive a rank and agreed to be displayed as a reporter in the final table.

Seventy-nine universities from Turkiye were included in the World University Rankings 2023, 18 of which were reporters. While three universities from our country managed to enter the top 500, thirteen universities took their place in the top 1000.

OMU was placed in the 1501+ group in the World University Rankings 2023, together with 24 universities from Turkiye.
