University of the West of Scotland ranked in global top 500

The University of the West of Scotland (UWS) has been ranked in the global top 500 by the Times Higher Education World Rankings.

Globally, UWS moved up a category and is now ranked 401-500 out of 1,258 institutions worldwide, increasing from last year’s position at 501-600 out of 1,000. This, in turn, improved on the University’s original listing of 601-800 out of 980 when it was first included in the THE World University Rankings 2017.

Professor Craig Mahoney, Principal & Vice-Chancellor of UWS, said: “Our new position in the THE World University Rankings is testament to the continual hard work put in by colleagues and students across the institution, particularly with regard to the impact of our research activity and work on internationalisation.”
