World University rankings
1. The QS Top 50 Under 50 ranks the universities that have been established since 1962 according to their position in the 2011 QS World University Rankings
2. Times ranking - "THE 100 Under 50 "
THE 100 Under 50 aims to show which nations are challenging the US and the UK as higher education powerhouses - and offers insights into which institutions may be future world leaders.
The list uses the same 13 performance indicators as the TH World University Rankings, but with a reduced weighting for subjective indicators of academic reputation.
