Universities

Universities with the most award-winning laureates

258 universities and colleges, ranked by the 1,378 laureates recorded at them. Institutes, laboratories, hospitals and companies are ranked separately under Institutions.

This counts award-time affiliations, not teaching quality, research output or overall university quality. An affiliation is the one recorded when the award was made rather than a whole career, and a winner can have several recorded for one award.
