Small personal dataviz project aimed at visualizing and exploring world university rankings from a country-level perspective.
Questions:
- Which countries’ universities are ranked the best?
- How countries’ universities ranks distributions were changed across different years?
Tools Used:
- Python (pandas) for data preprocessing;
- R (ggplot2 + RMarkdown) for visualization and presentation.
Data Sources:
- Times Higher Education World University Rankings
- QS World University Rankings
- Academic Ranking of World Universities
Raw data and prepared dataset are available in the repository's data_raw and dataset folders accordingly.
Data from 2014 to 2021. Ranking places were limited to TOP-500 universities from each ranking per year.
Notes:
Some rankings don't assign exact rank and corresponding scores for universities presented in the rankings bottom range. That's why scores were recalculated using the corresponding ranking's methodology(code available in 02_tidy_and_prep/Scores Dataset Preparation.ipynb Jupyter notebook).
