Eduroute has just launched its ranking results for universities worldwide. The
ranking of universities is of great interest to Eduroute because we greatly
believe in the concepts of student globalization.
With the increase in world
trade between different countries, the rise of new economic ties, the change in
the demands of the job market and its movement from one country to another the
higher education market has in turn changed its perspective and demands.
Today
higher education in many universities has provided the student with newer
technology to facilitate and enrich the educational process and some have even
made it easier on the education seeker by providing e-learning services where
the student can study and continue his education from his home regardless of the
location of the university.
This is where the ranking and reviewing of
universities comes in as it provides the educational seeker with all the
information he needs about the universities in terms of the quality of
education, accreditation and reputation of the university.
Most of the
universities have understood this change and due to the current economic crisis
and shortage of funds most universities have started looking for newer markets,
newer curriculums and newer advertising campaigns. Therefore they have started
to exploit the internet to advertise for themselves and spread the word about
what the university offers since for them the internet has become the cheapest
advertising medium and where all the students are.
It is from that that Eduroute's interest in ranking the different universities has stemmed. When
ranking universities Eduroute has taken into consideration the degree of
investment of the university in its website. This is reflected by how the
university administers its site, the number of users that actually depend on the
website for information whether they are the different university departments or
internet users, the quality of content , whether or not the site is update
regularly, if the website actually reflects and presents all the required
information of the type of education offered by the university and the
visibility of the university on the internet.
