Methodology

World University Rankings are determined through a comprehensive methodology designed to measure universities' academic research performance and global reputation in various disciplines including but not limited to architecture, design, and engineering. This meritocratic evaluation process underscores the World University Rankings' role in fostering academic excellence.

Data Collection

The methodology underpinning the World University Rankings is designed to highlight and honor the meritocratic nature of academic achievements, particularly those recognized through the A' Design Awards, which provides data on creative achievements.

Blind Peer Review & Criteria

At the heart of the A' Design Awards is a rigorous blind peer review process, meticulously carried out by an extensive panel of experienced academics, industry professionals, and press members. Entries are voted on based on pre-established criteria, with the identities of the contributors anonymized to prevent any biases.

Standardization

Before reaching the jury, entries undergo a preliminary review aimed at standardizing and elevating presentation quality, effectively minimizing presentation biases. This ensures all submissions are judged on an equal footing, focusing purely on the quality and innovation of the design.

Weighting & Normalization

Furthermore, the votes cast by distinct jury groups are weighted and votes cast by different jurors are normalized, a statistical method that accounts for any variations in scoring tendencies among jurors, thereby ensuring a fair and level playing field for all entries.

Get Listed

Getting listed in the World University Rankings through the A' Design Award is straightforward and accessible. Simply participate, win, and ensure your achievements are affiliated with your institution to effortlessly elevate both your and your university's global prestige.

Academic Institutions

To enhance their global prestige and showcase their excellence in fields like art, design, technology, and innovation, institutions should actively encourage their community—alumni, professors, and students—to participate in the A' Design Award. Notably, participating in the prestigious A' Design Award & Competition doesn't necessarily require a financial investment, thanks to the A' Design Award's generous array of sponsorship and scholarship programs made available to universities, academic institutions, and their scholars and students. By strategically promoting participation in the A' Design Award through various channels such as newsletters and academic programs, academic institutions can boost their representation in the World University Rankings without the burden of additional costs. This approach not only elevates the institution's profile on a global stage by highlighting its commitment to promoting excellence and innovation but also offers the community valuable opportunities for international exposure, networking, and professional development, all while managing resources efficiently. Academic institutions can boost their global recognition and highlight their commitment to excellence by engaging with the A' Design Award through various initiatives, such as the Design Ambassador Program, Award Scholarships, and collaborations for sponsored entries, all aimed at fostering talent and innovation without financial constraints. For academic institutions ready to get involved, we invite you to learn more and contact us for collaborative opportunities, such as exchanging jury participation for sponsored entries of your alumni, professors and students.

Academics, Alumni, Students

Professionals, professors, students, and alumni can significantly contribute to their institution's prestige in the World University Rankings by participating in the A' Design Award. By simply registering on the A' Design Award website, submitting their projects under the relevant categories, and affiliating their entries with their institution, they can directly impact their alma mater's global recognition. This collective effort not only showcases the talent and innovation within the institution but also strengthens its standing in the rankings, all through a process that highlights individual achievement and institutional excellence. For a swift entry into the A' Design Award, start by creating a free account, allowing you to upload your design and receive a Preliminary Score (PS) at no cost. This score, ranging from 0 to 10, gauges your project's potential, guiding you on whether to nominate your design for award consideration. High-scoring entries (PS≥6) are encouraged to proceed with the nomination, while those with lower scores (PS≤5) should refine their designs first. Upon nomination, patiently await the grand jury voting and award results to discover if your effort has been recognized. Winners are granted the A' Design Prize, offering various benefits to showcase their achievement. Importantly, as a laureate of the A' Design Award, make sure to affiliate your win with your university; this ensures your achievements contribute towards your university’s tally and your name will be proudly listed under your institution, enhancing its prestige and your personal profile, all without hidden costs in a process streamlined for your convenience and impact.
