One app for all your study abroad needs
The Arab region is developing its education sector rapidly and many students are from around the world. The populace of students is mostly from second and third-world countries. This is due to the comparative affordability of education with an international experience.
In such a scenario, Times Higher Education (THE) has released an Arab University Rankings list for 2023. The list will help students choose the best universities in the region. Giving a platform to universities in the Middle East and North Africa is also an effort to strengthen education in the region.
This also offers a competitive advantage to the universities to strive for better and gain global recognition. For this ranking as well, THE has used the same parameters of rankings as used in other World University Rankings.
