Qatar University (QU) is ranked between 501 and 600 in the 2022 edition of ShanghaiRanking Consultancy’s Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The top 1000 universities in the world were ranked after more than 2500 institutions were examined this year. In this list, QU is Qatar’s lone representative.
On the occasion Dr Hassan Al-Derham commented saying, “We were among the top 700 universities in the world last year, but this year we have dramatically improved by placing ourselves among the top 600 universities in the world, which is the result of our team’s dedication. We are proud to be a top university in the area and to retain a strong presence alongside renowned research universities all around the world. Our renowned curricula, devoted faculty, and outstanding research capabilities are largely responsible for our success.”
This achievement comes to complete an exceptional performance by QU on ARWU’s rankings as it had remarkable results on the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects issued by the same agency in July 2022.

Since 2003, ARWU has published an annual list of the top universities in the world based on a variety of objective metrics and independent research. The most reliable league table and the forerunner of international university rankings are both credited to ARWU. The number of Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals won by alumni and staff, the number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, the number of Highly Cited Researchers, the number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index – Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index based on data in the Web of Science, and per capita performance are just a few of the six objective indicators that ARWU uses to rank the world’s universities.
