In addition to the list of top 500 universities in the world, the ranking also names a group of universities in positions 501 to 1000.

The Shanghai Ranking mostly focuses on research. The comparison is based on, for example, Nobel prize-winning alumni, highly cited researchers and articles published in renowned scientific journals. Eight Finnish universities were included in the list, five of them among the best 500. JYU has reached the group of top 500 in 2003–2013 and 2015.

In subject-specific comparison, JYU succeeds well: education is in position 39, mathematics and communications 101–150, chemistry and psychology 201–300, physics, ecology, leadership, business economics, mathematical information technology and political science 301–400 and public health 401–500.

According to the ranking, the most appreciated university is again Harvard. It is followed by Stanford and Cambridge. The top 20 included 16 universities from the USA.
