This list of Nobel Laureates by university affiliation is counted consistently by application of some clear rules. The list counts Nobel laureates as equal individuals including those with prize shares but not if they received the same subject prize more than once.

The academic affiliations fall into three groups, 1) alumni (graduates and attendees), 2) long-term academic staff, and 3) short-term academic staff. Graduates are defined as those who hold Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees but not those with honorary degrees or posthumous degrees. Attendees are enrolled students who did not complete their courses of study. "Long-term academic staff" consists of tenured and equivalent academic positions, while "short-term academic staff" consists of lecturers (without tenure), postdoctoral researchers, visiting professors or visiting scholars.
