Chemical Engineering 2019

Academic Ranking of World Universities · · Methodology · Source: Academic Ranking of World Universities official website · Editorial Standards

Ranks universities globally for research output and academic impact in chemical engineering.

ARWU relies entirely on objective, verifiable academic indicators (Nobel Prizes, Nature/Science papers, Highly Cited Researchers) and uses no reputation surveys.

How does Chemical Engineering evaluate universities?

Chemical Engineering, published by Academic Ranking of World Universities, evaluates universities worldwide using key indicators such as AWARD, CNCI, IC, PUB, TOP, each assigned a distinct weight according to a publicly documented methodology. Data sources combine academic peer reviews, employer surveys, bibliometric databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, and institutional self-reported statistics, all independently verified by the publisher's research team. The 2019 edition assessed 500 universities from 13 countries and regions, covering teaching quality, research output, internationalization, and graduate employability across undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs. Academic Ranking of World Universities recollects raw data annually and cross-checks results to ensure the rankings reflect each institution's most current performance in faculty strength, scholarly productivity, global reach, and student outcomes, providing a reliable reference for prospective students, parents, and education researchers.

Which are the top universities in Chemical Engineering 2019?

The top universities in Chemical Engineering 2019 are: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Tianjin University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University. This edition, published by Academic Ranking of World Universities, evaluated 500 universities from 13 countries and regions using indicators such as AWARD, CNCI, IC, PUB, TOP. Rankings reflect weighted performance across multiple dimensions; students should consider methodology differences and their own academic priorities when interpreting results.

How does Chemical Engineering differ from other ranking systems?

ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities), created by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2003 as the world's first international university ranking, is based entirely on objective, verifiable academic indicators and uses no reputation surveys: alumni winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals (10%), faculty winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals (20%), highly cited researchers across subject fields (20%), papers published in Nature and Science (20%), papers indexed in SCIE and SSCI (20%), and per-capita academic performance (10%). In contrast, QS and THE both incorporate reputation questionnaires as core weights, while US News combines reputation surveys with bibliometric data. ARWU's transparent methodology and reproducibility make it authoritative for evaluating research strength and academic prestige.
