Impact Rankings 2021: good health and well-being

The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We use carefully calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.

This table on SDG 3 – good health and well-being measures universities’ research on key diseases and conditions, their support for healthcare professions, and the health of students and staff.

The list includes 871 universities from 88 countries/regions.
