Latin America University Rankings 2019

The Times Higher Education Latin America University Rankings is based on the same 13 rigorous performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings, but the weightings differ to reflect the characteristics of Latin America’s universities. We judge universities across all their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

The 2019 table includes 150 universities spanning 12 countries, up from 129 institutions across 10 nations last year.

Pontifical Catholic University of Chile tops the table while Brazil’s University of São Paulo remains in second place, and University of Campinas drops to third.

Brazil is still the most-represented nation in the table. It has 52 ranked universities, up from 43 last year. Chile remains the second most-represented country with 30 representatives.

Elsewhere, Cuba and Puerto Rico feature for the first time.
