In the new University rankings for Sub-Sahara region of Africa by Times Higher Education (THE), Makerere University has been placed in fifth (5th) position on a list of over 20 institutions.
Coming in top positions are South African Universities University of Witwatersrand and University of Johannesburg followed by Tanzania’s very own, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences.
These university Rankings, produced in partnership with Mastercard Foundation, ranks universities from about 17 countries in the region.
The Times Higher Education rankings list strongest universities in Sub-Saharan Africa across a comprehensive range of performance indicators covering five pillars: ‘access and fairness’, ‘Africa impact’, ‘teaching skills’, ‘student engagement’ and ‘resources and finance’.
“It clearly demonstrates the broad and diverse strengths of a wide range of universities and numerous previously unknown differences between public and private universities, which is further illuminated by the results from the student survey,” Phil Baty, Times Higher Education’s chief global affairs officer remarked at the announcement of the rankings, first of their kind (THE’s Sub-Saharan Africa Forum 2023) which took place in Ghana’s Ashesi University.
“We hope this ranking will help African universities celebrate and showcase good practice, benchmark themselves against peers, and identify key areas where they can improve” he urged.
