Abstract

A high quality university, or âworld-classâ university, is an important indication of a countryâs capacity to be a key participant in a global economy. That is why so many countries are trying to develop world-class universities. Today, more than 15 years after the launching of the first edition of the Academic Ranking of World Universities, the impact of rankings on higher education has increased exponentially. Several countries have a programme to improve the position of their universities in the rankings. In addition, several universities around the world struggle to be well-placed in the rankings as it implies growing in reputation and prestige. However, is it possible to reconcile a search for a better position in rankings with the search for a high quality learning environment?
