List of Nobel Laureates by university affiliation

This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please improve this article if you can. (May 2007)

The following list provides information on Nobel laureates and their affiliation to academic institutions.

It is not always straightforward to determine which institution was key to the contribution for which each Nobel laureate was honoured. Each institution practices different methods for counting affiliates, from extremely generous counting to extremely conservative counting. The present list only speaks of affiliation and indicates how the laureate was or is related to the respective institution; it does not clarify where the honored work was completed. The number of Nobel prize graduates may be a good indicator, because its people are not repeated on other Nobel prize graduate lists as much as other categories. By presenting the most complete picture, one can distinguish organizational influence.

The University of London as a total has 56 Nobel Laureates (70 including Imperial College which left the federal University in 2007), however they are counted by individual constituent college unlike the University of Paris in this graph.

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.[1]

Legend: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, Economics.
