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

According to UniRank, the first best university in Africa is Cape Town university college of South Africa followed by Pretoria, Witwatersrand, Universiteit Stellenbosch and KwaZulu-Natal all of South Africa.

American university of Egypt takes the sixth position with North-West university and Johannesburg of South Africa taking 7th and 8th positions respectively.

In East Africa, the university of Nairobi of Kenya is ranked 9th, Makerere University Uganda (18th),  University of Dar es Salaam Tanzania (22nd), Kenyatta University Kenya (24th), Strathmore University Kenya (49th) and University of Rwanda (65th).

Other Tanzania universities ranked in the top 200 are Sokoine University of Agriculture at 98, Mzumbe University at 131,  Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences at 132, The University of Dodoma at 164 and Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology at 170.

The ten best ranking universities according to the UniRank are Massachusetts institute of Technology (1st) followed by Harvard University, Stanford, Cornell and University of California, Berkeley.

Others are John Hopkins (6th), Columbia University - New York (7th), Michigan, Washington and minnesota - Twin cities.

No African university is ranked within world's top 200.

UniRank used three criteria in its classification:

Being chartered, licensed and/or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in each country;

Offering at least four-year undergraduate degrees (bachelor degrees) or postgraduate degrees (master or doctoral degrees); and

Delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format.
