Topul universităților din 2026: primele 12 poziții sunt ocupate exclusiv de instituții anglo-saxone

Harvard University retains its top position in the Shanghai ranking of world universities for 2026, with US institutions dominating the list. The top three spots are held by Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, while European universities appear in lower ranks. Paris-Saclay is the highest-ranked continental European university at 13th. China also shows strong representation with Tsinghua at 18th. No Romanian universities are in the top 30, and the ranking methodology has faced criticism for its focus on research performance over educational quality.
