Covenant University (CU) has been listed as Nigeria’s overall best university in Times Higher Education (THE) 2024 Rankings.

The Times Higher Education World Rankings is a comprehensive global ranking of universities published annually.

The 2024 rankings include 1,907 universities across 108 countries and regions.

Covenant University which is Nigeria’s highest-ranking institution on the 2024 list fell within the 8001-1000 global scale alongside the University of Ibadan (UI).

The ratings were done based on 18 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across five areas: teaching, research environment, research quality, industry, and international outlook.

This year’s ranking analysed more than 134 million citations across 16.5 million research publications and included survey responses from 68,402 scholars globally.

“Overall, we collected 411,789 datapoints from more than 2,673 institutions that submitted data,” THE said.

The University of Oxford tops the ranking for the eighth year in a row, but others in the top five have seen shifts in their ranks. Stanford University moves up to second place, pushing Harvard University down to fourth.
