Evidence-based institutional performance recognition
The UniMetric™ Ratings are independent, evidence-based institutional assessments used by universities to demonstrate employability, digital readiness, and global engagement
beyond league tables.
Ratings for Future-Ready Institutions
Who UniMetric™ Is For
The UniMetric™ Ratings are designed for universities, colleges, and applied higher education providers seeking independent validation of institutional readiness beyond rankings.
How the UniMetric™ Ratings Are Awarded
UniMetric™ Ratings are awarded through a structured, evidence-based institutional review designed to ensure credibility, consistency, and contextual understanding.
Institutions submit documented evidence aligned with clearly defined performance pillars specific to each rating. Submissions are reviewed within a robust analytical framework that takes into account institutional mission, scale, and operating context.
Performance across the assessed pillars contributes to an overall recognition level, expressed through a clear, non-comparative star-based rating:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Global Leader
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ Strong Global Performer
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ Meets Global Benchmark
UniMetric™ Ratings do not rely on public league tables and do not assign negative or below-standard classifications. Recognition reflects demonstrated performance and readiness, rather than relative positioning against other institutions.
What Participating Institutions Receive
Each participating institution receives a comprehensive UniMetric™ Rating package designed to support recognition, strategic insight, and continuous improvement.
This includes an official UniMetric™ Rating level, an authorised digital badge for institutional and marketing use, and a confidential performance report outlining strengths and development considerations.
Institutions also receive anonymised peer benchmarking and action-oriented insights to inform strategic planning.
All results and reports are owned by the institution. UniMetric™ does not publish comparative rankings or disclose institutional data.
