中新网10月4日电 据“中央社”报道，英国泰晤士报高等教育特刊3日公布2012-2013世界最佳大学排行榜报告，美国加州理工学院蝉联第一名，去年第二名的哈佛大学退居到第四名。

负责这项调查的编辑巴提(Phil Baty)表示，今年的调查一个很明显的现象是亚太地区国家大学的排名上升，美英加欧等地区的大学排名则下跌，包括中国大陆、新加坡都有不错表现，显示这些地区的教育投资绩效显现。

北京大学从去年第49名升到46名，清华大学(招生办)更劲升19名，从71名升到52名；新加坡国立大学由去年的40名升到第29名，新加坡南洋理工大学则从169名劲升到86名；香港大学与香港科技大学排名都较去年下滑，分别成为35和65名。

排名第27的东京大学是亚洲排名最靠前的大学，日本有5所大学在前200大，是亚洲国家中最多的，但是除了东京大学，其它大学的名次都下滑。

巴提说，加州理工学院再次蝉联第一名，因为在各指标都得高分，更重要的是校方非常专注科学研究，招收优秀学生，参与火星计划更显示加州理工学院在科学研究的领先地位。

全球前200名最佳大学，仍以美国占76所最多，英国31所排第二，但是巴提表示，教育经费被删减，造成竞争力下降，是美英等国家大学排名下跌的主因，美国就有51所大学排名下跌，反观亚洲国家大量投资高等教育，推动知识经济，呈现很明显对比。

“金砖四国”的俄罗斯与印度未有任何大学挤进前200大，挪威与西班牙的大学跌出前200。

泰晤士报高等教育专刊9年前起进行世界大学排行榜调查，使用教学与学习环境、学术影响力，含论文报告被引用情况、研究报告发表数量、引用情况及声誉、国际师生人数、发表的论文数量，以及研究资金与产业创新等13个指标进行分析，约有16639名学术界声望高的专家受邀参加调查。
