The University of Newcastle has dipped in several key metrics in the most recent Times Higher Education rankings, which track the higher education sector's impact and progress towards the United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals, notwithstanding significant strides made in areas of gender equality, climate action, and clean water and sanitation.
The international benchmark, which released its sixth annual rankings results on June 12, analyses the impact of about 2100 participating universities worldwide and placed the UON at 39th, a slide from last year's 28th place and the university's highest ranking of 12th in 2021.
