鈥淚鈥檓 delighted that the excellent research and teaching at Bangor is gaining global recognition. Bangor provides education and research of high quality and makes a valuable contribution both regionally and on the wider stage,鈥� commented Vice- Chancellor, Professor John Hughes.

Bangor University aims to produce high-calibre research, and one measure in this table- citations, reflects the University鈥檚 progression in this area, achieving a high score. Citations measure the number of times that research papers by the University鈥檚 leading academics are quoted by other research papers- which occurs when the paper reports ground-breaking and significant new research.

麻豆AV鈥檚 measure in this index is higher than that of renowned universities worldwide, including Texas A&M University, Tel Aviv University, the University of Illinois and the University of Western Australia- all of which are ranked among the top 200.

World ranking is increasingly important to universities. Student recruitment is increasingly a global marketplace. Around 3.7 million university students now study outside their home countries- a number projected to rise to 7 million by 2020, so a reputable international profile is important to universities. Increasingly, research at Universities is conducted by international teams working collaboratively across universities, a high profile is essential to make those valuable academic and research connections.

Described as the most comprehensive table, the Rankings analysed 100,000 separate pieces of data in their production.
