UniRank 2022: Top 200 Universities in Africa

universities

What are the most popular Universities in Africa? uniRank has compiled the 2022 African University Ranking of the top 200 recognized higher-education institutions in Africa.

The institutions listed meet the following uniRank selection criteria: being chartered, licensed and/or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in each country offering at least four-year undergraduate degrees (bachelor’s degrees) or postgraduate degrees (master’s or doctoral degrees) delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format.

uniRank’s aim is to provide a non-academic League Table of the top Universities in Africa based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
