Stellenbosch and the University of the Witwatersrand were the next best SA institutions, ranked in the 251–300 band.
Globally, the UK’s University of Oxford retains the top spot for the seventh consecutive year. Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Princeton, University of California/Berkeley, Yale and Imperial College London round out the top 10. “The continent now has 97 universities from 17 countries in the rankings, up from 71 last year, with 25 universities ranked for the first time.
“UCT competes globally with institutions that have considerably more resources than we do, which makes this result all the more remarkable.”
