Griffith University is back in the top 300 universities in the world and has been ranked equal 14th in Australia, a jump of two places, in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2026.
The rankings have placed Griffith third in Queensland.
Dean (Sustainability and Rankings) Professor Jennifer Boddy said the rankings recognised the exceptional learning, teaching, staff achievements and research opportunities Griffith provided and reinforced the University’s impact in creating a brighter future for all.
“This is a terrific reflection of the University’s performance across a range of key measures,” Professor Boddy said.
“Griffith’s return to the top 300 reflects the strength of our global partnerships, research excellence, and commitment to high-quality education.
“While rankings are only one lens through which universities are viewed, this recognition affirms the impact and relevance of our work on the world stage.”
The global ranking assessed more than 2000 research-intensive institutions from 115 countries on the basis of teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.
The 18 performance indicators were grouped into five areas:
- Teaching (the learning environment)
- Research environment (volume, income and reputation)
- Research quality (citation impact, research strength, research excellence and research influence)
- International outlook (staff, students, and research)
- Industry (income and patents)
