THE Impact Ranking criteria

THE’s Impact Ranking on ‘Health and Wellbeing’ has analysed the work of universities under three criteria:

• The first measures health and wellbeing research, measuring visits to scientific articles, clinical citations and the volume of research produced.
• Secondly, the proportion of graduates in studies related to the health professions out of the total number of graduates in each institution is analysed.
• Lastly, the ranking also looks at the health and welfare services provided by each university to its own students and employees, as well as to the local community and disadvantaged groups.
