Paris Sciences & Lettres �C PSL University has been named the world��s top university founded in the 21st?century in a new Times Higher Education table.

The French university, which was founded in 2010?after a merger of nine institutions, takes the number one spot in a?THE list of the top Millennial universities �C institutions founded since the year 2000. As well as achieving the top overall score, it also receives the highest scores for teaching environment and research environment among its peers.

The table, which was compiled for the second time this year, is a subset of the THE Young University Rankings, which lists the best universities that are 50 years old or younger.

PSL ranks fourth in this broader league table. It did not feature in the list last year as 2018 is the first rankings cycle that PSL, rather than its individual components, has been ranked.

��Ƶ

The University of Luxembourg, which has the highest international outlook in the table, and the University of Antwerp hold on to second and third place, respectively, in the Millennials list.

France is the most-represented country with nine institutions, followed by the UK with three.

��Ƶ

The UK��s top representative, Brighton and Sussex Medical School at 11th place in the Millennials list, receives the top citation impact score, which is a measure of a university��s research influence.

Meanwhile, Khalifa University of Science and Technology in the United Arab Emirates, which is 12th overall, leads the knowledge transfer indicator, which calculates the amount of industry income institutions receive per member of academic staff.

Overall, 36 universities from 23 countries feature in the list.

The Young University Rankings and its composite tables are based on the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings, but the weightings have been adjusted to give less weight to reputation.
