What’s the basis of comparison?

The overall listings and the lists broken down to faculties are based on how well the students and teachers perform. The creators of these lists pay close attention to several factors, for example, how many students marked the given university as their first choice when applying, the average points of the students who got in, the percentage of students with a language diploma, how many of the enrolled students have participated in competitions during high school, the number and rate of the teaching staff with an academic degree, the number of students per teachers with academic degree, the number of teachers who are members of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
