Advanced Criteria
For a university to aspire to being truly world-class, its
mission and its impact must extend further
than the basics. This selection of criteria looks at important
factors that a university with a solid
foundation in the core criteria might target to advance to a
higher level of performance and
recognition.
Recognising that institutions vary in specialisation, this
section gives universities the option to select
two of the categories in this area that showcase their
strengths.
