    Last week it was the list of business and finance top spots (HERE), where Rhodes University managed to take home the title.

    But, before we look at these lists a little closer, a rather sobering statistic – according to the World Economic Forum, South Africa has the worst maths and science skills in the world.

    That being said there are still tertiary institutions where you can excel in both fields, with BusinessTech outlining the criteria used to rank them accordingly:

    The ranking is based exclusively on bibliographic data from the Web of Science database produced by Thomson Reuters, across a number of science indices, including maths, science, social science and arts and humanities.

    The overall ranking works by not only looking at the amount of published work, but also how often a university’s work is cited in relation to other published work on the same or similar subject.

    First let’s look at performances across the sciences, with the number on the left the world ranking:

    Now below we get a little more specific, dealing exclusively with biomedical science. That number on the left the South African ranking:

    unisciencemaths2

    Cool your jets UCT, you’re going to be pipped in the mathematics and computer sciences field:

    Feel free to forward this onto your mates in order to gloat – after all, we know that’s why you’re really reading this.
