Algerian universities have secured the top spot in the Maghreb region in the 2025 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. This accomplishment underscores the country's commitment to advancing its academic institutions on the global stage.
According to a press release from the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, 26 Algerian universities have been featured in the 2025 rankings, marking an increase from the previous year. This places Algeria ahead of its Maghreb neighbors in terms of the number of universities included in the prestigious list, which evaluates institutions from 115 countries worldwide.
The University of Sidi Bel Abbes has emerged as the national leader, ranking among the top 1,200 higher education establishments globally. This recognition highlights the concerted efforts by Algerian universities to enhance their international visibility and strengthen their role in the global academic and economic landscape.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings are based on five key criteria: the quality of higher education, the quality of scientific research, citations and adaptations, openness to the world, and impact on industry. Algerian universities have demonstrated notable progress across these areas, reflecting their dedication to academic excellence and innovation.
This achievement is a testament to the strategic initiatives undertaken by Algeria's higher education sector to improve the quality and reputation of its universities. By prioritizing research, fostering international collaborations, and enhancing educational standards, Algerian institutions are positioning themselves as competitive players in the global academic arena.
The success of Algerian universities in the Times Higher Education rankings not only boosts national pride but also serves as an inspiration for continued investment in education and research. As Algeria continues to build on this momentum, it is poised to further elevate its standing in the international academic community, contributing to the country's socio-economic development and global influence.
