Seven institutions from the Université de Lyon cited in the THE World University Rankings 2023 by subject

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings by subject assess universities according to five performance indicators:

• Teaching (reputation survey, staff-to-student ratio, Doctorate-to-Bachelor’s ratio, Doctorates-awarded-to-academic-staff ratio and institutional income);
• Research (reputation survey, research income and research productivity);
• Citations (influence of the research produced, measured using bibliometric data provided by Elsevier);
• International outlook (proportion of international students, proportion of international staff and international collaborations);
• Industry income (a university’s ability to help industry through knowledge transfer).

Each of these performance indicators is weighted differently according to each subject (Arts & humanities, Engineering, Computer science, Social sciences, Business & economics, Education, Law, Life sciences, Physical sciences, Psychology and Clinical & health).

The Université de Lyon institutions ranked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings by subject 2023 are:

• ENS de Lyon
• ENTPE
• INSA Lyon
• MINES Saint-Étienne
