Emerging Economies University Rankings 2020

The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2020 includes only institutions in countries classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as “advanced emerging”, “secondary emerging” or “frontier”.

The rankings use the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings to judge institutions on their teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. But they are recalibrated to reflect the development priorities of universities in emerging economies.

India is still second in the country list based on representation, with 56 institutions, while Brazil is third with 46.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is home to the top new entrant in the table – King Abdulaziz University at 13th place – after the country gained “secondary emerging” status in the FTSE list last year.

Overall, 533 universities from 47 countries or regions are included in the ranking.
