We are pleased to celebrate the outstanding representation of World 100 members in the Times Higher Education Most International Universities in the World 2025. Leading the way is City University of Hong Kong, which ranks in first place, followed by an impressive 15 other members within the top 50, and one in the top 200.

The ranking uses the international student score, international staff score, international co-authorship score and international reputation metrics collected for the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025.

These institutions all have a high proportion of international students and staff, collaborate on research with scholars from across the world, and have a strong global reputation to match.
