Impact Rankings 2022: reduced inequalities

The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We use carefully calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.

This table on SDG 10 – reduced inequalities measures universities’ research on social inequalities, their policies on discrimination and their commitment to recruiting staff and students from under-represented groups.

The list includes 796 institutions from 93 countries/regions.

The table is led by the University of Canberra in Australia for the second consecutive year. In second place is King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia, followed by RMIT University in Australia.

The UK is the most-represented nation in the top 100, with 30 institutions, followed by Australia with 14 and Canada with 11.

The Impact Rankings are inherently dynamic: they are growingly rapidly each year as many more universities seek to demonstrate their commitment to delivering the SDGs by joining our database; and they allow institutions to demonstrate rapid improvement year-on-year, by introducing clear new policies, for example, or by providing clearer and more open evidence of their progress. Therefore, we expect and welcome regular change in the ranked order of institutions (and we discourage year-on-year comparisons) as universities continue to drive this urgent agenda.
