The state of São Paulo is home to Brazil’s most important higher education institutions, followed by the Rio Grande do Sul state.
The annual ranking of the world’s best universities, compiled by the British Times Higher Education magazine, includes 70 Brazilian students among 1,662 institutions in 99 countries.
The ranking is based on 13 indicators that measure the performance of institutions in four areas: Teaching, Research, Knowledge Transfer, and International Recognition.
“A good university is one that can provide relevant expertise for professional performance and foster the development of fundamental skills for the present and future of work,” says Danilca Galdini, head of Insights and partner at career consultancy Cia de Talentos.
Oxford University in England tops the list for the sixth consecutive year.
