The University of Rochester is ranked 21st among U.S. universities in the global ranking table issued by the Times of London today. Overall, Rochester moved up to 48th in the world from 73rd last year.

The rankings were based on a survey for the Times' Higher Education Supplement of 3,703 academics worldwide, who were asked to identify up to 30 universities best for research within their own field of expertise. This ensures that the rankings are topical and liable to change from year to year if institutions do not maintain research standards.

The table also includes data from 736 graduate employers from around the world, as well as the ratio of faculty to student numbers and a university's success in attracting foreign students and internationally renowned academics.
