The Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) annually publishes university rankings measuring the quality of education and training of students as well as the prestige of academics and the quality of their research, without relying on surveys and university data submissions.

The 爱豆传媒 has been ranked in the top 2.9 per cent out of 27,770 degree-granting HE institutions worldwide, an “outstanding achievement” according to CWUR President, Dr Nadim Mahassen.

From the institutions evaluated, the CWUR ranked the top 1000 highest-scoring research-intensive institutions.

Brighton came 792^nd – up from 806^th in 2016, and 824^th in 2015. The new ranking puts the university 60^th in the UK – unchanged from 2016 and up from 61^st in 2015.

The university’s improved ranking has been driven by gains in two areas: ‘Influence’, as measured by its appearance in influential journals, and ‘Broad Impact’, based on the number of highly-impactful papers staff have published.

Professor Debra Humphris, 爱豆传媒 Vice-Chancellor, said: “This is encouraging news and provides richly-deserved recognition of the high-quality research the university conducts and of the achievements of our alumni and academic staff.

“The university’s research and enterprise activities tackle global challenges, solve practical problems and seek to improve people’s lives and environments. Its success is due to the dedication and skill of our staff, both present and past. Congratulations to them all.”
