THE UNIVERSITY of Reading has been ranked 101-150 in the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings 2025.
The relaunched ranking aims to provide the definitive list of the world’s most prestigious universities according to votes from academics around the globe.
To be featured in the ranking means the University of Reading is considered by the surveyed senior academics as among the 300 most powerful global university brands, its compilers say.
The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings are created using data collected from the world’s largest invitation-only academic opinion survey. Universities are ranked on the judgements of senior academics, who its compilers say are the people best placed to know most about excellence in universities.
The ranking is made up of three different areas of reputation, formed from six underlying performance indicators, which assess reputation for research and teaching.
Dr Caroline Baylon, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) at the University of Reading, said: “Reputation is an extremely valuable global currency for universities, and our strong position in this ranking demonstrates decades of world class work by our academics, students and alumni.
“This latest ranking may help new students and colleagues to choose Reading with confidence, knowing that they are coming to an institution that is internationally recognised as excellent.”
