There are thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of institutions of higher learning around the world that admit new students every year. Prospective students are therefore usually tasked with researching the best institutions that suit their learning preferences before making their application. The easiest way is usually to see how a university of interest ranks globally (or in its native country) and then comparing it with another university. A more detailed approach would be to compare universities not on their rankings alone but also on metrics such as research environment, teaching standards, hospitability to foreign students, and industry income among others.
To that end, this dataset provides a list of universities together with their rankings and various other metrics of interest according to the Times Higher Education.
