Top positions in the rankings
University rankings assess the quality of teaching and research at universities as well as faculty development based on various criteria.
To this end, students and professors are surveyed anonymously in separate surveys on specific topics. The rankings are an important factor for the attractiveness of a university and each individual degree program. Companies also pay attention to very good ranking results and recruit their graduates accordingly.
Students often use rankings to help them decide where to study. Universities use the rankings to improve their teaching.
It is important to us that the rankings in which we participate are actually up-to-date surveys. In this way, the subject structure and boundaries are taken into account individually.
