Top 200 Colleges and Universities in the World 2013

World University Web Ranking: Top 200 Colleges and Universities in the World

Intending international students often discover the difficulty encountered in trying to choose a school to apply to outside of their home country. This can be overcome if there is a ranking that compares different schools against the same yardstick.
4 International Colleges & Universities is an international higher education search engine and directory reviewing accredited Universities and Colleges in the world. It includes 11,000 Colleges and Universities, ranked by web popularity, in 200 countries.

The current ranking (i.e. from academic year 2012) is based upon an algorithm that included three unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines: Google Page Rank, Alexa Traffic Rank, and Majestic Seo Referring Domains. It is important to note that this method does not rank school or their programs, by the quality of education or level of services provided.
