Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of world university rankings and suggests methods for improvement of standing in those rankings for universities and higher education institutions. There is a multitude of university rankings worldwide, yet some of them are considered to be more prestigious than others. Currently, the top positions in the ranking belong to the universities from the United States (e.g. Ivy League institutions), or such renown universities as Cambridge or Oxford. However, in the recent years there has been also a rising tendency in China and Russia to have some of their universities ranked among the top world higher education institutions. Our findings show that the university rankings represent a complex and everchanging mechanism that requires deeper understanding in order for sorting out the methods for improvement.
