Nobel Prize laureates by university affiliation
Encyclopedia
This list of Nobel laureates by university affiliation shows the university
affiliation (either as a student, alumnus or faculty) of winners of the Nobel Prize
. Universities are listed in order of number of affiliated Nobel Prize winners, from highest to lowest.
It is not always straightforward to determine which institution was key to the contribution for which each Nobel laureate was honoured. Many laureates earn their bachelors and masters
degrees at one university, then move to a different university to earn their doctorates. Some laureates may have taught or done research at more than one university. Some names will appear below as 'graduates', 'researchers' or 'academic staff' of more than one university. Each institution practices different methods for counting
affiliates, from extremely generous counting to extremely conservative counting. For example, Oxford University declares that it does not include anyone who received the Nobel Prize before arriving there, although there are very few laureates who joined Oxford after winning a prize.
The federal University of London
is counted by individual constituent college in this table. The University of London and Imperial College London
(which separated in 2007) together have a total of 72 affiliated Nobel laureates overall (including 7 Nobel laureates affiliated to the University of London International Programmes).
A list of laureates' university affiliations is also maintained by the Nobel Foundation
, which defines the awards by the affiliation at the time of the award.
