Tel Aviv University was ranked first among Israeli universities in the QS World University Rankings for 2027. It placed 208th in the world overall, ahead of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at 218th and the Technion at 334th.
The QS ranking is regarded as one of the most influential and prestigious measures in higher education. This year it assessed more than 1,500 universities worldwide and measured performance in research, teaching, graduate employability and internationalization.
Tel Aviv University’s strongest result came in the Citations per Faculty category, where it ranked 29th globally. That measure accounts for 20% of the overall score and reflects the impact of a university’s scientific publications on the international academic community.
QS, produced by Quacquarelli Symonds, draws on data from millions of academic papers and hundreds of thousands of surveys of academics and employers. Global leaders this year were MIT, Stanford University and the University of Oxford.
