Bristol only slightly more international than the average Pitbull song
International, so international
Quarter a gram, crack open the champers, grab the cheese board: your university is the 77th most international in outlook in the entire world.
Don’t know what that means? Neither do we! But just look at this table:
We totally have more of an international outlook than the Vienna University of Technology.
This new (and not at all pointless) list of the 100 most international universities was compiled by the (not at all bored) people at Times Higher Education.
How, you ask, do they figure out and rank a university by its “international outlook”?
Well, the measure includes each institution’s percentage of international staff, its international student numbers, the proportion of its research papers published with a co-author from at least one other country and the number of Pitbull songs played at local clubs (nothing says international outlook like Mr. International himself).
We asked Reuben Joseph, a second-year Aerospace Engineering student from India whether he thought Bristol was worthy of it’s ranking as the 77th most international university in the world.
He said: “Yeah, I guess it’s quite international.”
