In this study, the variables that affect the International Outlook of Universities are examined. The international outlook was treated as a dependent variable. Teaching, research, citation and industry income, GCI, critical thinking in teaching, freedom of the press, judicial independence, HDI, GNI, Gini coefficient, gender inequality index, unemployment youth, and share of seats in parliament (% held by women) were treated as independent variables. Fourteen indicators measured by three different organizations which are UNDP, WEF, and THE were selected. The data used in the research were from 57 countries and 1,133 universities. Therefore, for data analysis, a two-level hierarchical linear model was conducted. The differentiation in the international outlook scores of universities by country was found to be significant. The empirical outcomes of this study will make important contributions to both top-level decision-makers and students who will select a university to study.
