University rankings have long been a popular tool for those students when choosing where to study, especially given that many don’t have the time or funds to visit an overseas campus before enrolling. For some years, mainland China has been one of the most significant sources of international students. For example, Chinese students make up the largest share (30%) of non-domestic students in the US.</p></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class="_1kbq9x82 _1kbq9x84 _1kbq9x85 _1kbq9x88" style="--_1kbq9x80:var(--_99wljgg)"><figure class=""><div class="_16jmeqbis _16jmeqbko _16jmeqb1s _16jmeqb18 _16jmeqb0"><img class="popcxs1 popcxs3" src="//images.ctfassets.net/o78em1y1w4i4/2UvYhBwF2XqLheAQN3sTFh/8e205e5e65ec1e8d607ee52f7775e570/international-students.jpg?fm=webp&w=800&q=75" alt="International students illustration" width="800" height="172" srcSet="//images.ctfassets.net/o78em1y1w4i4/2UvYhBwF2XqLheAQN3sTFh/8e205e5e65ec1e8d607ee52f7775e570/international-students.jpg?fm=webp&w=800&q=75 1x, //images.ctfassets.net/o78em1y1w4i4/2UvYhBwF2XqLheAQN3sTFh/8e205e5e65ec1e8d607ee52f7775e570/international-students.jpg?fm=webp&w=1600&q=75 2x" decoding="async" loading="lazy"/><figcaption class="gv4p8b0 _16jmeqb17e _16jmeqb166 _16jmeqb167"><div class="gv4p8b0 _16jmeqb166 _16jmeqb167 _16jmeqbse _16jmeqbs8 _16jmeqb16m" data-text-size="sm"><div class="_16jmeqbik _16jmeqbkg _16jmeqb1s _16jmeqb18 _16jmeqb0"></div></div></figcaption></div></figure></div></div><div class="section-rtf"><div class="_1kbq9x82 _1kbq9x84 _1kbq9x85 _1kbq9x88" style="--_1kbq9x80:var(--_99wljgg)"><div class="gv4p8b0 _16jmeqb166 _16jmeqb167 _16jmeqbsi _16jmeqbsc _16jmeqb16m" data-text-size="md"><div class="_16jmeqbis _16jmeqbiy _16jmeqbko _16jmeqbku _16jmeqb1s _16jmeqb18 _16jmeqb0"><p class="gv4p8b0 _16jmeqb166 _16jmeqb167 _16jmeqb16v">Although COVID-19 and geopolitical tensions may reduce the number of Chinese students opting to study overseas, the country’s dominance of the international student market looks set to continue.

You may invest time in checking the accuracy of your data, re-evaluating your strategy, or benchmarking your regional and worldwide peers yet not see substantial growth. Achieving a rise in the rankings is not a straightforward path, and there are no guarantees. But, the time you put into understanding and participating in university rankings can lead to a more accurate reflection and deeper understanding of your university overall. To do this, we encourage a two-pronged approach.</p><ol class="_1w1hhao1 _16jmeqb18 _16jmeqb1s _16jmeqbic"><li class=""><div class="_16jmeqbi8 _16jmeqbk4 _16jmeqb1s _16jmeqb10 _16jmeqb4"><div class="_16jmeqbs4"><p class="gv4p8b0 _16jmeqb166 _16jmeqb167 _16jmeqb16v">Make sure the source of bibliometric data for your institution’s research is an accurate reflection.
