Top 10 - Best and Most Prestigious Universities in the World 2012
© International University Rankings

[@takemybreathawayok]

Well, John Harvard graduated from the University of Cambridge :)

[@yaminbinbaqui]

I have had the good fortune of studying at Harvard and MIT in the US and Cambridge in the UK, and I can tell you that Cambridge is definitely on par with Harvard and MIT.

[@fowadahmed6174]

Cambridge, UCL or Stanford my targets for my Phd :)

[@Incognito.1st]

Wish you all the very best 🙌🏻

[@joyacharya663]

You should go for Cambridge

[@LizardYup]

I'm actually mind-blown. The architecture of these Universities are amazing!

[@mohannadislaieh3009]

Thats almost the best part about them that derives inspiration. The rest is just stupid reputation and academic stress.

[@ashen1970]

Lol, I can’t get admission in any of these universities so I can only watch a KZbin video describes how good they are.

[@abebekebede6360]

Yes you can you just need to believe - Master Oogway

[@Incognito.1st]

You can You will Just believe in yourself Otherwise you will never ever be succeed

[@xVinoz]

Master in Harvard : see you in 4 yrs :)

[@sa-adatouabubakar3201]

Are you at Harvard now? Reply please

[@trizkanurdhila4620]

And now???

[@kollontai4545]

???

[@jakedeane5304]

Lol, Oxford has existed for 5 times as long as the USA has been a country, crazy

[@beatinghearts9404]

ikr

[@troublecaine1728]

Even crazier? Check this: The USA is this world's only remaining Superpower and, AND, to even begin, just BEGIN, to become a country, America literally, had to defeat an England that had Oxford and A MAGNA CARTE, and the HOLY BIBLE, and much more. The USA had to beat them TWICE. They had to do it without an Army, No Navy, no Marine Corp., no Coast Guards, WOW! They beat England First in 1776 and again in 1812 when we got our flag and National Anthem. To do it, they had to be SMART, scary-freaking-smart and ORGANIZED. Get to the Moon first? The USA did that. Get to Pluto first....CHECK! EInstein need a home? Come on over! What is that Einstein..." NAZIs building an A Bomb! " ??? USA builds one first and drops an atom bomb on a Japanese city using THE Uranium that the NAZI's had shipped to Japan just before Germany lost the war. The USA, had NO nuclear weapon program AT ALL...went from NOTHING to a bomb at warp speed and cornered the market. The nation just attracts brilliance like no other in history...I mean, we are all from somewhere else...truth. But the USA has something in its essence, its core, its fiber, that is constantly reinventing the American Dynamic and peeling back new layers of something old and or making something new or unheard of....fact. Democracy has people in it, so no, it MUST have flaws.....but the US rises despite its human-self-component. There is nothing BAD, to say about ANY other nation to justify the greatness of any one nation, but, The USA, has been gifted with something ....that...JUST WILL NOT ALLOW THAT NATION TO BE JUST ANOTHER NATION. They need to settle their difference and become ' united ' THEN....you WILL see something stupendously EXCEPTIONAL AND LIKE NO OTHER EVER. England was the world's Premier Superpower at the times 1776 and 1812...France was a close second but had no useful Navy, no, so they could only help the USA so much. Yet, truly, without France, there would be no USA today...! The USA and the American people, were truly an idea whose time came and nothing could say them nay....nothing. Now if we could just get them to stop killing each other and end the ethnic, european descendant, neanderthal, protestant, evangelical, build-a-wall, tax dodging-Panama-Papers, greed and hate....oh well....there is no paradise where there are humans!

[@jakedeane5304]

at the end of the day, britain created the modern world we know today

[@whhammers9427]

Very true. The US has accomplished more in it's short time than us. I find it even funnier that Harvard and Yale are ranked consistently at #1 and #2 on these polls and still are 400-600 years younger than Oxford or Cambridge. The UK reached it height prior to WW2. The US has no ceiling though. The sky is the limit for them.

[@jakedeane5304]

WH Hammers lol, nope, Imperial college is now no.1, followed by cambridge/harvard

[@mathiasbergh8116]

Thank you for a clear video :) many on youtube are simply pictures but you show videos and that is more informative :)

[@blahblah9861]

Excited to be going to Yale this fall!

[@baderalbahrani9204]

Wenderful Report and I wish next video to highlight the manimum requirements for accepting the researchers of engineering PhD

[@roger72715]

Great music and a well made list

[@siddiquiishere...1100]

I liked the way this video has been presented with attracting beckground music.

[@zigaudrey]

It is me or the University of Oxford remind me of Harry Potter? Especially the inside?

[@waniabikebabalola8213]

I just thought that

[@cameronferguson7276]

zigaudrey that would be because some of Harry Potter was actually filmed their

[@Dim.g0v]

You mean Hogwarts?

[@Rose34561]

Another college that has Harry Potter looks university of chicago's dorms I'm a junior in high school and university of Chicago is my dream school

[@sassysassy9950]

Same! Also Harvard's Cafeteria.

[@hanexictpolytechnic8980]

Wow! This is great.Aside from finance,the best is achieved through your studies.

[@Natalie-xf8cx]

10 years later still waiting for someone who can name which music piece this is

[@masim4t5]

Hope i can get admission in one of these universities. Ameen

[@jimmyredkick8276]

These rankings are ridiculous and pathetic-- and I say this as an American Ivy League graduate myself! The failure with "ranking" them internationally is that universities are structured differently in different countries and US states, yet the rankings stupidly give extra weight for the arbitrary set-up of (mainly) a few US and UK research universities. For ex: Across Europe, Japan, Korea, Canada, South America and even many US states, top research isn't done "on campus", instead it's done in industry labs or special institutes (like Max Planck institutes) where professors work and collaborate. But this research doesn't "count" since it's not technically "on campus"-- the Shanghai, Timer Higher Education and other rankings lists have failed to normalize for this factor, and thus arbitrarily "penalize" these countries and many US schools for a totally irrelevant reason! Also, many quality US public universities don't have their own medical or pharm school, instead they "team up" with med or pharm schools on separate campuses. Yet they, too, are falsely penalized for this on the lists since once again, their research isn't "on campus". It makes somewhat more sense to compare individual departments and their graduates, but the campus-wide university comparisons are totally laughable.

[@jonathan100158]

yes that is a very interesting major. I am doing that at uc berkley and I had to take ap biology and ap chemistry in high school to get prepered. i would also recommend that you do good in the SAT and take ap classes!

[@zaankweta8976]

I just like the soundtrack. ☺

[@Mirsab]

1:18 did i see jesse pinkman from breaking bad?

[@OGtuxi123]

[@brezzybri8152]

[@nguyenquang9699]

[@greatbridge8133]

What is the name of this amazing song?!

[@takemybreathawayok]

clear video. not just pictures. thanks

[@MrViMichael]

How to study in one of these university? Expectation: you have to be very smart Reality: you have to be rich.

[@dr.shadamohamed9645]

I second you

[@Vesivian]

+MrViMichael bullshit. that's an elitist argument used by misinformed fools. Places like Harvard, Princeton, Yale... they offer MILLIONS in finiancal aid every year The only thing you need is perfect grades and ECs.

[@keeslynch6480]

+MrViMichael You could get a scholarship or financial aid

[@selimhassairi]

False, I can testify

[@bobbykotick1163]

+MrViMichael loser mentality.

[@CompHelperKid]

All such brilliant schools. Does anybody know the name of the song in the background?

[@mohannadislaieh3009]

[@philomenaaruk5240]

I like South Wales University very much. I hope to get money for the online program!

[@luckyea7]

International Student Olympiads are actually the only objective tool for comparing the competitiveness of university students at the global level. Unlike school education, there is no global student assessment system like PISA, ILSA or PIRLS. Ranking of universities by number of weighted wins at international student olympiads: 1. Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) - 13.40 points 2. University of Warsaw (Poland) - 12.06 3. Saint Petersburg State University (Russia) - 10.90 4. Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia) - 10.65 5. ITMO University (Russia) - 9.50 6. University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) - 9.30 7. University of Zagreb (Croatia) - 8.90 8. Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) - 8.53 9. Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine) - 8.50 10. Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Poland) - 7.46 11. Novosibirsk State University (Russia) - 6.51 12. Comenius University Bratislava (Slovakia) - 6.40 13. National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) (Russia) - 6.20 14. Charles University (Czech Republic) - 6.10 15. Ghent University (Belgium) - 6.00 When evaluating the success of students' performance at the Olympiads using a weighted score, not only the number of victories of students and student teams is taken into account, but also the level of competition at each of the Olympiads. The advantage is given to the universities that took part in the Olympiads with the widest country coverage. The largest Olympiad is the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). It has the widest geographical coverage, with students from over 100 countries taking part. Over the past 10 years, universities from Russia have won this Olympiad and once won a university from China. MIPT, 2 times won prizes at the ICPC Programming Olympiad, and at the IMC Mathematical Olympiad for 5 years, its students received 38 awards. St. Petersburg State University, which took third place, has as many as 4 victories on ICPC for 5 years. The runner-up Warsaw University won prizes at ICPC all 5 years in a row. Of the 15 universities represented, only three do not have a single victory at the ICPC: the University of Amsterdam, Novosibirsk State University and Ghent University, however, the number of awards received by their students at the IMC is extremely high. Universities are the most successful in information technology and mathematics Olympiads, primarily ICPC and IMC: Moscow State University. M. V. Lomonosov, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, St. Petersburg State University (Russia); University of Amsterdam (Netherlands); Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine); Ghent University (Belgium) and Zagreb University (Croatia). Universities most successful in natural sciences and engineering Olympiads: University of Toronto (Canada); Nanjing University and Xi'an Chiao University National University of Singapore; Georgia Institute of Technology and Washington University in St. Louis (USA); Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain) and University of Liverpool (UK). Students from the University of Singapore have also repeatedly won prizes in various international humanitarian Olympiads, and students from both Chinese universities have won The Mathematical Contest in Modeling Olympiad in mathematical modeling. The most stable position is occupied by Shanghai Jiaotong University (China), Warsaw University and Jagiellonian University (Poland) - students of these universities have repeatedly won awards both in the field of information technology and at mathematical and natural science Olympiads. If we consider the victories of students at international Olympiads on a national scale, it turns out that the most successful Olympiad university community in the USA, Germany and the UK - their universities have received awards in all four areas of knowledge over 5 years. Most of the universities in these countries, however, have victories in only one of the considered student Olympiads. The exceptions are Cambridge, Harvard and Pennsylvania universities - students of these universities have won awards at four different Olympiads in 5 years; University of Glasgow, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Colorado at Boulder (winning three different Olympiads) and Yale University, which has won two Olympiads. Students from the universities of Singapore, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Argentina and China became winners and prize-winners of Olympiads in three out of four areas, students from universities in another 18 countries - in two out of four.

[@stevenfanale4553]

[@saif.restifer.khomain]

What about Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University?

[@chandrankaden]

Good Information for international students

[@ls600h1]

Also, these aren't arbitrary rankings. Some ranks use criteria like selectivity, retention, graduation rates etc, while some rank the scholarly work of faculty and alumni, or rank using reputation as rated by other academe. But all these rankings do come out to be the same, (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UChicago, MIT, Stanford always come out as the top 10) lending some credence to the fact that these universities take in great students, and produce even greater ones...

[@drycoursechitate8801]

Do you offer online Masters in PE and sports as well scholarship

[@chandrankaden]

Good Information.

[@mr.awesome9286]

[@mohdharif2107]

[@dresdenentirely]

Most developed countries have later post-master elite selection and moderately funded public universities or very few elite places as India or France. Cambridge, CalTech, Stanford and MIT are just excellent in all their subjects with significantly higher research budgets and industry tasks. A bachelor from the MIT is not really impressive if nothing follows up, but these universities are really much better than ours, in almost all aspects. In rare cases it still can be a dumb education bubble.

[@foodie360d]
