The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) continues its slide down the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Ranking: After dropping 12 places last year, it has fallen a further 18 places so it is now at 114th \u2014 only just ahead of the other large Danish higher education institution, Aarhus University, at 117th.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt is always regrettable to lose places on the ranking front. UCPH has generally been lower on Times Higher Education’s ranking than on other recognized rankings, and has moved back and forwards over the years. Within the last ten years we have been everywhere between 160 and 84,\u00ab says Vice Director for Research and Innovation at the University of Copenhagen Kim Brinckmann.<\/p>\n

Among Nordic neighbours, Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet is at 49th place. Finland\u2019s best performing University of Helsinki is at 110th place, while Norway\u2019s University of Oslo is at 126th.<\/p>\n

As a continent, Europe continues to lose position relative to Asia, according to Times Higher Education.<\/p>\n

You have to run very fast to stand still in the global rankings<\/p>\n

\u00bbEurope is of course a thriving powerhouse of world-class higher education and research, but a significant shift in the balance of power in the knowledge economy has taken place, with Asian universities now outnumbering those from Europe in the overall Times Higher Education World University Rankings,\u00ab says Phil Baty, Chief Knowledge Officer at Times Higher Education.<\/p>\n

He adds that \u00bbyou have to run very fast to stand still in the global rankings and losing ground can risk a vicious circle of gradually losing access to global talent and partnerships.\u00ab

\nThe top five spots on the 2023 ranking are taken by the University of Oxford (UK), Harvard University (US), University of Cambridge (UK), Stanford University (US) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (US) in that order.<\/p>\n

The THE methodology traditionally gives a higher rank to Anglo-American institutions than other rankings, and this year is no exception: Outside the UK and US, it is ETH Zurich of Switzerland that is the highest-ranked (European continent) university with 11th place.<\/p>\n
