They have a great travelling grant. The Global Leadership Program is a great idea (not to mention free to enrol into).

#1 in chemistry citations. Report marking nazis of the world. Its 18 mL not 18mL :|

one thing that REALLY shits me (and i realise it wasnt said here, but it just reminded me). i do not get how they rank universities overall (i.e. the 10 top universities)... i can get top 100 in terms of some aspect that is more specific, but in terms of an overall rank. Its probably from some stupid set of criterion that is likely to be irrelevant for most people...

shitty, shitty shitty *spits in face of ranking-person*

Methodology is the main debate, should they place more weight on nobel prize winners in faculty? student peer review? jounrals and papers published? etc etc.

google somethign like "SJTU vs THES rankings"

different ranks are are result of different methodologies....
