Latin America University Rankings 2023

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

The 2023 ranking includes 197 institutions across 15 countries, up from 13 countries last year. 

Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile is number one for the fifth consecutive year, while Brazil’s universities of São Paulo and Campinas hold on to second and third place respectively. Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico jumps up one position to take fourth.

Paraguay enters with Universidad Nacional de Asunción in joint 82nd place, and Bolivia debuts with Universidad Mayor de San Simón, in the 126-150 band.
