Budapest university in TOP 20 in the QS sustainability ranking
The third global sustainability ranking by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has been published, placing BME 556th among universities worldwide. This is slightly lower than a year earlier, probably due to the fact that more than 350 new entries have been added to the list, which now includes 1,744 institutions from 107 countries.
In Europe, BME is ranked 240th, in the Eastern European region 17th out of 111 universities, and in Hungary, similarly to 2023, 4th.
The ranking is based on nine weighted criteria: environmental education, environmental research, environmental sustainability, employability and opportunities, equality, health & wellbeing, impact of education, knowledge exchange, good governance, bme.hu wrote.
BME achieved the best position (195th) in the good governance category, but also scored well in environmental education (287th),
ranking 5th in the Eastern European field and 1st within the country.
