On September 2, Times Higher Education announced the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022. ZUFE entered the list for the first time, ranking between 801 and 1000 worldwide. This list includes 1,662 universities around the world, including 97 universities in mainland China, among which ZUFE ranks 50-72.

Founded in 2004, this list has ranked the world's outstanding universities through several major indicators such as teaching, scientific research, degree of internationalization, and social reputation. Together with QS, U.S. News, and ARWU, it is also among the world's four most influential and authoritative university rankings.

This marks an important milestone for ZUFE in its efforts to accelerate its pace of globalization and increase its international presence. It also lays a solid foundation for ZUFE to enhance cooperation and academic exchange with organizations at home and abroad and ultimately to grow into a first-class university.
