The University of Washington is among the best universities in the world, according to the 2025 World University Rankings published Wednesday by Times Higher Education.
The UW maintained its position at No. 25 overall, and fourth among U.S. public institutions — behind UCLA, UC Berkeley and the University of Michigan. The University of Oxford, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University top the list in that order.
This ranking judges more than 2,000 research-intensive universities from 115 countries across all their core missions: teaching, research quality and environment, international reach and relationships with industry and patent production. The rankings use 18 performance indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparisons that they say are trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments.
