To be eligible for the list of young universities, there are 13 performance indicators used that show the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and government.

The “Golden Age” rankings use the same weightings as the World University Rankings.

Performance indicators are grouped into five areas: teaching (learning environment), research (volume, income and reputation), citations (research influence), international outlook (staff, students and research) and industry income (knowledge transfer).

The full methodology information is available on the Times Higher Education Website.
