The following link includes the ranking list made by "the times" of top 200 world universities. It is not only physics but overall university.

So do you think it gives a general scope about the physics departments of these universities. Actually, I am looking for a ranking list of the physics departments of the world universities (not only US), but I could only find this. Does anyone has another source?

Re: times university rankings
You must not have looked very hard. A google search for "world physics university rankings" gives this as the fourth result.ssapple wrote:Actually, I am looking for a ranking list of the physics departments of the world universities (not only US), but I could only find this.

Re: times university rankings
With this being said I think graduate schools should add something to the application and weight it heavily along side the GRE, Recommendations, and GPA. It would be something like this:grae313 wrote:You must not have looked very hard.

Are you capable of searching for something on the internet?
Of course, if one can not search, how would one possibly begin to "re-search"?

Re: times university rankings
yeah, i didn't look very hard but also wanted to learn any "reliable" source from you guys. i guess we are still "on the internet" at this forum so anything i ask here should be listed as "searching in the internet", although some people think that this forum is a theater for making stand up comedy show.

Re: times university rankings
I find this post very confusing. Why would you consider this forum "reliable" if you also believe it is for "making stand up comedy show?" Plus, even with that, I am sure there have been plenty of references to rankings on this forum, although I feel searching for rankings on this forum would be pointless if you have had the chance to search Google.ssapple wrote:yeah, i didn't look very hard but also wanted to learn any "reliable" source from you guys. i guess we are still "on the internet" at this forum so anything i ask here should be listed as "searching in the internet", although some people think that this forum is a theater for making stand up comedy show.
However, what you're wanting to know in this second post is indeed not the same as what you asked in the first post. If your first post would have been addressed, "Hey I've found these sites: A, B, C, D, and E that rank physics graduate programs. Which one do you guys believe is the most reliable?" then perhaps someone would have been of aid.
I would not say specifically that posting here is "searching in the internet." I would say that you posting here is "wanting someone else to search the internet for you." Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do so. Also, as much as my initial response seemed like a joke, I back it up with sincerity as I'm fairly certain being able to search for sources and gauge whether they are reliable will be a handy tool in graduate school. Just a gut feeling though.
