Nowadays, the increase of competition among universities on a local and global basis reveals for the individuals and institutions the need of ranking universities, considering many different comparable criteria with regard to universities. There are many different world universities rankings, prepared by different institutions for this purpose, and results of which are shared with public every year.

In the second part of the study, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods, the multicriteria decision making methods used in practice, have theoretically been explained.

At the consequence part of the study, the world university ranking has been evaluated comparing the world universities rankings each other, obtained according to TOPSIS and VIKOR methods. The purpose of this study is the application of the TOPSIS and VIKOR methods to reveal the university rankings, any relevant example of which haven’t been available in the literature, and to compare the findings of these rankings with those of the rankings obtained by THEWUR.
