Hebrew University makes The Times' list of 100 top schools

Tags: The Times, League Tables 

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem was ranked 93 in the world this year by the Times Higher Education survey, released last weekend. This means the university has jumped by 35 places since last year.

Other Israeli universities appearing among the 200 leading schools include the Technion (ranked 109 overall, but 29 in the field of engineering) and Tel Aviv University (114).

Hebrew University thus ranked ahead of prestigious institutions like the universities of Munich, Zurich, Georgetown, Vienna, Ohio, Sussex and Basel.

In the humanities, the university's ranking was even higher, at 41, while Tel Aviv's humanities department was ranked 80. In social sciences, Hebrew University came in at 49, while Tel Aviv ranked 56.

As in previous years, British and American universities - Harvard, Yale and Cambridge - led the list. The calculation is based on rankings by experts, citations in scholarly journals and faculty surveys.
