Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Perhaps in response to Hermann Van Peron's statement, the "European Times" released the latest version of the world university rankings in 1882. On this list, Humboldt University Berlin fell one place back from the previous year, ranking seventh in the world.

The University of Sydney in the Kingdom of the Netherlands continues to rank first in the world.

The University of Melbourne is second.

The third place is no longer the University of Cambridge in the UK last year, but the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, which jumped two places to third.

The fourth is the University of Cambridge in the UK.

The Australian National University in the Netherlands advanced 4 places and ranked fifth.

So far, the Netherlands has occupied four of the top five spots on the list.

1st University of Sydney (Far East, unchanged), 2nd University of Melbourne (Far East, unchanged), 3rd University of Amsterdam (Europe, up 2 places), 5th Australian National University (Far East, up to 5 places) ), No. 10 The Hague University (Europe, up 2 places).

14th University of Western Australia (Far East, up 5 places), 16th University of Adelaide (Far East, up 1 place), 20th University of Rotterdam (Europe, up 2 places), 24th University of Queensland (Far East) , up 5 places), No. 30 University of Jakarta (Far East, up 3 places).

Utrecht University ranked 35th (Europe, up 2 places), 36th National University of Auckland, New Zealand (Far East, up 5 places), and University of Groningen 38th (Europe, unchanged).

The University of Northern Australia (Far East, rising 4 places) is ranked 43rd, the University of New Guinea (Far East, rising 4 places) is ranked 46th, and the University of Madagascar (Africa, rising 9 places) is ranked 50th.

This year, 17 universities in the Netherlands have entered the top 50 in the world. Among them, the University of Madagascar on the African island of Madagascar has entered the list for the first time.

It is really surprising and at the same time, I am shocked by the strength of the Dutch education system.

The UK seems to be working hard. In 1881, only 8 universities were in the top 50, but this year, one has been added to the top 50, making it nine.

Although the number of British universities in the top 50 this year is still second only to the Netherlands with 17, and even one more, the University of Cambridge dropped one place to fourth, and the University of Oxford was squeezed out of the top five, falling two places. The ranking went from fourth last year to sixth this year.

Europe is still the continent with the most rankings in the world, with more than 35 universities in the top 50 coming from Europe.

Yenching University of Qing Dynasty ranked 49th, breaking the history of no Qing Dynasty university entering the top 50 in the past ten years since the beginning of this list.

In addition to the top five places occupied by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, sixth to tenth are occupied by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, the Humboldt University of Berlin in the German Empire, the University of Paris in the Second French Empire, Harvard University in the United States, and the University of The Hague in the Netherlands.

Oxford University dropped two places.

The University of Berlin dropped one place.

The University of Paris moved up one spot.

Harvard University moved up five spots.

The University of The Hague rose two places.

The UK still has two seats in the top ten, while the Netherlands has five.

This ranking enters its eleventh year and includes the top 50 universities from all countries in the world.

The considerations for this year's ranking have been updated compared to the past. The data evaluation of performance indicators has been increased from the past 7 items to the current 12 items. The newly added items are divided into five categories: teaching, research quality, research environment, employment, international prospects and industry development. aspects.

Salters, editor-in-chief of "European Times" and chief consultant of the list, pointed out in the statement that after observing the continuous changes in social trends and student interests, and extensively questioning senior figures in the global education industry, the decision was made to adjust this year's scoring indicators in order to It is closer to students currently studying in universities around the world (referring to people born around 1860) and the priorities of these students. Sustainable development, employment outcomes and international research networks are among the most important issues. .

At the same time, the proportion of three of the original six scoring indicators was adjusted, and the proportion of employer evaluation was increased from 10% to 15%; the teacher-student ratio was also reduced, from 20% to 10%; the emphasis on academic reputation was increased from 40% Adjusted down to 30%, the remaining three indicators are the average number of faculty citations, international education, and the ratio of international students.

In this aspect, the Netherlands almost dominates the world in terms of international students and international immigrant teachers. Even the United States, which originally has more immigrants, is inferior in this aspect.

Moreover, the industrialization of research results in the Netherlands is unmatched by the United States.

Hermann Van Peron, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, ranked first in the world: "As a global university, the University of Sydney in the Netherlands is competing with the best universities in the world. We will continue to invest in the long term and make strategic choices so that the University of Sydney will continue to Among the best”

Although the University of Oxford fell from 4th to 6th in the rankings, the report stated that Oxford University is still one of the top ten and is the second university in the UK to achieve this achievement.

“This achievement is a result of the continued contributions and outstanding work of our talented staff and students who remain committed to flying the flag high for the quality of our education and making a positive impact inside and outside the classroom.”

Molter from the Australian National University said.

The president of the fifth-ranked university in the world used to be the Minister of Education of the Netherlands, so he knows a lot about education. When he responded to inquiries from The Australia Times, he was delighted with the excellent results of the Australian National University. Last year, the Australian National University ranked tenth. This year it directly entered the top five, even squeezing out the famous Oxford University. This is a global sensation.

Moore pointed out that the latest rankings demonstrate the ability and commitment of the Australian National University to provide world-class and interdisciplinary education in an ever-changing world, and to cultivate graduates who are agile and resilient, and possess diverse skills and knowledge.

He suggested that universities in the Netherlands should continue to focus on sustainable development, cultivate graduates' employability, and strengthen international cooperation to respond to various global challenges.

Compared with the rise in the rankings of universities in the Netherlands, almost all universities in the German Empire have declined.

"Our best university in the German Empire, the Humboldt University of Berlin, dropped one place to seventh place, and the second-ranked University of Munich dropped from 14th to 15th place."

"Also, although the University of Bonn in 25th place remains unchanged, compared with the progress of the Netherlands, if it does not advance, it will be a retreat."

"The University of Freiburg, ranked 42nd, rose two places this year to 40th, while the University of Heidelberg fell one place to 44th. Finally, the University of Göttingen fell two places to 49th, almost at the bottom."

At the Berlin Palace, William I said with some displeasure on his face, "If this continues, our best students will leave our universities and go to the foreign universities ranked first.

Even if the University of Copenhagen in Denmark remains at 27th this year, it is only a little behind our three universities. In the territory of the Western Netherlands, there are actually 4 universities in the top 50, only two less than us. This is absorbed every year. We have so many geniuses, I feel so sorry for them. "

William I said to Bismarck: "We must find a way to prevent it, otherwise we will never catch up with the Netherlands."

Hearing this, Bismarck suddenly felt even more pressure.

When it comes to politics, he is not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to economics, he admits that he is at a disadvantage to the Netherlands or William IV.
