Kuwait University ranking in the light of the international universities ranking standards : an analytical evaluation study

الملخص EN

Abstract: The aim of this study is to assess the current ranking of Kuwait University in the ranking of international universities compared to Arab and international universities.

We can summarize the problem of the study in the following key question: How Kuwait University can achieve the criteria for international rankings of universities? To answer this question, first we discuss the international rankings of universities, and then we analyze the status of Kuwait University in these rankings -and its ranking compared to Arab universities- while discussing its strengths and weaknesses.

The results of the study show that the ranking of Kuwait University is low and sometimes it was not included in these global rankings.

Accordingly, the study recommends adopting practical mechanisms to enhance the ranking of Kuwait University by working on the implementation of international ranking standards, which will require dedicated funding and strong determination.
