Ultimately, universities are essential for the growth and development of our society, and for the reasons listed above, it is imperative to know which university has the most to offer, particularly when deciding which one to go for.

As a result, a number of data platforms have dedicated their resources to analyzing which universities have the most to offer. One such platform is the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR), which publishes the only academic ranking of global universities that assesses the quality of education, alumni employment, quality of faculty, and research performance without relying on surveys and university data submissions.

This consulting organization uses seven objective and robust indicators grouped into four areas to rank the world’s universities: education, employability, faculty, and research. The research criteria considers the following sub-criteria: research output, high-level publication, influence, and citations.

Using these indicators, the Center for World University Rankings is able to deduce which universities are the best in the world.

In 2023 they ranked 2000 universities all over the world. Below are 10 of the best from Africa.
