In 2024, the rankings take into account 18 performance indicators (13 in previous years), calibrated to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments.

The performance indicators are grouped into five areas:
 

• Teaching (the learning environment)
• Research Environment (volume, income and reputation)
• Research Quality (citation impact, research strength, research excellence and research influence)
• International Outlook (staff, students and research)
• Industry (income and patents)
