牛津大学在最新的《泰晤士报高等教育》世界大学排名中再次位居榜首。

​

The University of Oxford remains top of the table in latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings. 

Times Higher Education (THE) has announced the results of the THE World University Rankings 2022, with the University of Oxford retaining top spot for an impressive sixth consecutive year. 

In a year dominated by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the rankings reflect the vital role of universities in understanding and managing the crisis as a number of institutions around the world saw significant boosts in their citation scores (a measure of a university’s research influence and impact in spreading new knowledge and ideas) from Covid-19 focused research.

牛津大学校长路易丝•理查森教授（Professor Louise Richardson）说："我和我的同事们对再次位列排名首位感到非常高兴。世界上有许多优秀的大学，我们很自豪能与他们为伍。”

“过去的一年向我们的公众、我们的政府，甚至我们自己证明了大学可以为社会做出多大的贡献。牛津大学开发的疫苗正在170多个国家发放，并且已经生产了超过10亿剂疫苗。全球高校一起为重新对研究型大学进行公共投入提供了最有力的例证。”

今年的排名是基于包括对1440万份研究出版物的分析、对全球22000名学者的调研，以及针对教学、研究的数据而得来，来自99个国家和地区的1662所大学出现在榜单中，创下了历史记录。

Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, said: 'My colleagues and I are absolutely delighted to have achieved the top ranking again. There are many great universities around the world and we are proud to be in their company.'

'This past year has demonstrated to our publics, our governments, and even to ourselves just how much universities can contribute to society. The vaccine Oxford developed is being distributed in over 170 countries and over a billion doses have been manufactured. Together our universities have made the strongest possible case for renewed public investment in research universities.'

This year’s rankings – based on a methodology that includes analysis of 14.4 million research publications, a survey of 22,000 academics around the world and data on teaching, research – saw a record 1,662 universities from 99 countries and regions appear in the table.

泰晤士报高等教育首席知识官菲尔•巴蒂（Phil Baty）评论说："2022年泰晤士报高等教育世界大学排名不断证明，英国是世界上最好的高等教育体系之一 。诚然这一排名包含了竞争的因素，但更重要的是它帮助我们了解在国际背景下高校的优势和劣势。虽然英国今年取得了一些好成绩，但在英国脱欧影响带来的挑战之上，Covid-19也带来了新的挑战。”

“这些挑战意味着英国必须努力吸引国际学生和学术人才，以在短期和长期为其知识经济作出贡献。随着中国和德国的崛起，这对英国保持其高等教育超级大国的地位至关重要。”

Phil Baty, Chief Knowledge Officer at THE, commented: 'The THE World University Rankings 2022 consistently prove that the UK is home to one of the world’s very best higher education systems. But while these rankings contain an element of competition, more importantly, they’re about understanding strengths and weaknesses in an international context. Although the UK has seen some good results this year, Covid-19 has provided new challenges to add to those related to the impact of Brexit.'

'These challenges mean the UK must work hard to attract international students and academic talent to contribute to its knowledge economy in both the short and long-term. With China and Germany rising, this will be essential for the UK to retain its position as a higher education superpower.'
