100 best universities in the world

In the top for 2015, the first 10 places are occupied by universities in the USA and Great Britain. The rating of universities in the world was compiled by an independent commission, the survey was conducted in 9 languages.

So, one hundred of the best universities in the world opens Harvard University. It is a very old educational institution dating back to the 17th century. Many US presidents have emerged from its walls.

The second place is taken by the University of Cambridge. It is the oldest university among the existing ones. It was founded in 1209.

Oxford ranks third. This educational institution, like the two previous ones, is very old and has a worldwide reputation.

The list includes universities from both Europe and Asia. In the last, hundredth place of the list, the University of Massachusetts is listed. Thus, the list closes and opens the US university.

Of course, in order to choose a top university, you need not only large cash infusions, but also initial knowledge and knowledge of the language of the country where the educational institution is located.

Top technical universities

Technical specialties are in demand and are popular along with the humanities. IT specialties are especially appreciated.

The rating of technical universities in the world is topped in the United States. Its peculiarity is that students learn in practice, rather than cramming boring theory. Therefore, the university is a leader in intra-university research. It is worth noting that the competition for this university is unrealistically high, and in order to get there, you need to try very hard.

The Indian Institute of Technology is also in the top five. This is a real forge of personnel for the IT sphere. The institute does not have a clear specialization, and students study about 40 disciplines. International students are awarded a scholarship for the exchange of cultural experiences.

The top ten includes Imperial College London. Education there is relatively inexpensive - 12 thousand pounds a year. But big expenses will be for housing, because the college does not have a hostel. And in London, real estate prices are high.

The top twenty includes the Australian University of South Wales. The teaching principles are very similar to those of the University of Massachusetts.

Russia ranks 66th among the world's technical universities. This is the site of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Top Medical Universities

In second place is Harvard University.

The third place is taken by Cambridge.

The fourth place is given to the Imperial College London.

Rounding out the top five is Stanford University, which is located in the United States.

In the first place, as in almost all ratings, Harvard University.

The second place belongs to the Massachusetts Technical University.

The British university appears only in fifth place - the University of Oxford.

In general, only US universities are represented in the first twenty positions. Further, you can find universities in Japan, Canada, China, Australia, Singapore and European countries. But most of all there are universities in America. Therefore, there are fears that the agency's experts, out of patriotic feelings, may slightly overestimate the educational institutions of their country.

Ranking of universities in the world by specialty

In addition to the general rating, ratings of specialties are made. This is done so that the applicant can choose the most suitable university. Because not all universities have every department or department that is equally strong. The university may be in the top ten of the overall ranking, but after admission it turns out that in a less well-known institute it is in a particular specialty that knowledge is given deeper, more interesting internships, and so on.

The lists are made up in six directions:

• humanitarian;
• engineering and technical;
• biosciences;
• physics and chemistry;
• medicine;
• social direction.

Moscow State University took several positions at once in different directions: 35th in the direction of "Linguistics", 36th - "Physics and Astronomy", in the specialty "Computer Science and Information Technologies" entered the top hundred. In addition to Moscow State University, the hundred includes St. Petersburg University.
