The top 100 universities by reputation are listed, but Times Higher Education and Thomson Reuters have agreed to rank only the top 50 because the differentials between institutions after the top 50 become very narrow. The second group of 50 institutions are listed in groups of 10, in alphabetical order. Scores are given to one decimal place, but were calculated at a higher precision. The universities of Florida, Texas at Austin, Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and the Indian Institute of Science were not included in the 2010-11 World University Rankings (WUR) exercise because they did not supply institutional data. The University of California, San Francisco and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine were excluded from the WUR because they have no undergraduate provision. Other institutions where no WUR rank is included did not make the WUR top 200.
