University of Sheffield is rated 8th in the UK and 18th in Europe, and has moved four places to 65th in the world in an annual academic ranking of the top 500 universities worldwide. Researchers at China's Shanghai Jiao Tong University evaluated the universities using several research performance indicators, including the number of highly cited researchers, academic performance, articles in Science and Nature and the number of Nobel Prize winners.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Bob Boucher comments, "The University's ranking is indicative of our ongoing achievement of excellence in research and teaching. For research, we have top 5 and 5* ratings in 35 subject areas embracing 85 per cent of our academic staff, and in terms of teaching, 29 of our subjects are graded as excellence, which is the third highest number in the UK. It is part of our mission to be internationally recognised as a world-class research and teaching centre across a wide range of disciplines, and I'm pleased to see that this year's ranking recognises out commitment to this goal".
