The University features in a new list of the world’s best universities founded after the Second World War.
According to the Times Higher Education’s inaugural ranking of ‘Golden Age’ universities – those institutions founded between 1945 and 1966 – Southampton is placed eleventh overall and second in the UK. The University of California, San Diego, takes the top spot, with Warwick (in eighth place overall) leading amongst UK entries.
The Times Higher characterises the ‘Golden Age’ as the post-war period when global higher education experienced rapid expansion and increasing investment in research. The list is based on the same methodology as the Times Higher’s World University Rankings where Southampton is currently placed joint 121st overall. Metrics relate to teaching, research reputation and research productivity.
