that the countries withthe highest numbet of english speaking universities

The ranking is based on:
10% – How many alumni have a Noble Prize or a Fields Medal
20% – How many in the staff have a Noble Prize or a Fields Medal
20% – How many in the staff that Reuters classify as “highly cited”
20% – How many papers they publish specifically in the journals Nature and Science
20% – How many papers they have indexed in SCIE and SSCI
10% – A factor to adjust for the size of the university
In short, if you are young and looking for a good education. Ignore this type of rankings. It is almost all about how good they are at attracting researchers who publish in specific fields and in English. It tell you very little about how good the university is at things like education, basic research, or even publishing if it happens in other fields or languages.

It’s quite surprising that there aren’t any in Italy

Oh give the UK this one. *It’s all we’ve got currently.*

Belgium and Netherlands are pretty amazing Here. Even more amazing is that in Belgium they are in the same region.

Looks rather useless which is pretty common for these kind of rankings.

I attended Edinburgh (Informatics) and can say confidently that it was garbage teaching and mostly trivial material, teaching me little to nothing of note. University rankings are meaningless.

I went to a low ranked uni for undergrad (ex-poly for uk folks) and then a higher ranked uni for masters and PhD. I found the quality of teaching and availability of the faculty to be much much better at the low ranked ex-poly than the red brick I went to later.

Cute, now bring me the top ten. 🇨🇭😎

I am not even sure why German universities made it onto the list. Unlike most international universities, research programs in Germany do not get accredited to universities, and we therefore tend to rank somewhere at the bottom, despite affordable high-quality courses.

This is distorted by the difference in academic organisation.
Germany has only 4 top tier universities, but Leipnitz, Helmholtz, Frauenhofer and Max Planck.
Max Planck alone is on of the 3 most important research organisations on the planet on par with Havard and the Chinese Academy of Science.
As long as those rankings do not aggregate over all of a campus they are meaningless.
Example Göttingen:
Mid level uni but 3 Max Planck institutes, 1 Leipnitz Institute 1 Frauenhofer.
MPI Nat Gö alone is a behemoth of science.

An acclaimed scientist is not necessarily a good teacher. Unfortunately.

Ranking really is a complicated thing. It strongly favors the way anglosphere universities are structured. For example, here in Germany, a lot of research is happening in institutions that are attached to the university but not part of it, meaning it does not get attributed to it and thus ranks lower. And this in no way reflects the quality or research output.

So per capita, Switzerland clears this one. Then comes Denmark

The protestant reformation was incredibly beneficial for education. Those countries shed the yoke of the regressive, anti-intellectual cult and rapidly became literate and educated.

Switzerland is wrong.
