Your chosen institution will be highlighted by default.
Review each indicator to see whether Rank, Percentile, or Score trends have increased, declined, or remained stable across the Benchmark Period.
4. Drill Down into Specific Indicators
To explore an indicator in greater detail, hover over the Indicators dropdown menu again and select a specific metric (e.g., Academic Reputation, International Faculty, or Employer Reputation).
This view provides a granular breakdown of the chosen indicator, including:
Rank, percentile, and score distribution.
Metric details such as staff composition or student ratios (where applicable).
Comparisons against Benchmark Peers, national performance, and global trends.
5. Summary
By combining the Change grouping, Indicator Map, and indicator-level drilldowns, you can identify the key drivers behind ranking movement for any institution.
This process helps you understand which areas are contributing most to an institution’s performance trajectory—both strengths and areas for improvement.
