The UK Times Newspaper also has a rather similar ranking of the top universities in Africa compared against some of the best across the globe. They employ 13 elements which are brought together into five headline categories to assess the universities. These are:

• Teaching — the learning environment (worth 30 per cent of the overall ranking score)
• Research — volume, income and reputation (worth 30 per cent)
• Citations — research influence (worth 30 per cent)
• Industry income — innovation (worth 2.5 per cent)
• International outlook — staff, students and research (worth 7.5 per cent).
