Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings 2023
The Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings have been developed specifically to assess?the impact of universities in addressing some of the toughest challenges faced in the region. We use carefully calibrated indicators to?provide comprehensive and balanced comparisons across three vital areas: teaching, research and societal impact.
The data include results from the first sub-Saharan Africa student survey, which gathered the opinions of more than 20,000 students.
The development work for the ranking was undertaken in consultation with university leaders across sub-Saharan Africa, in a?project initiated by a consortium of African and international higher education organisations and companies, which include Botho, Maverick and Mycos. The project was led by Ashesi University in Ghana, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation. 色盒直播 independently managed all data collection and calculations.
This first edition ranks 88 universities across 20 countries. An additional 33 institutions are listed because they provided data but did?not meet our eligibility criteria to receive a?rank.
