Eduline.hu announced that the latest ARWU list is available. The Academic Ranking of World Universities has included five Hungarian universities among the best 1,000 this year.
2018 ARWU list has included both Eötvös Loránd University and the University of Szeged in the 501-600. category. Semmelweis University made it to the 601-700. section, while the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the University of Debrecen both rank between 901 and 1000.
In the last few years ELTE and University of Szeged had a tendency to get great rankings.
ELTE, being in the public eye these days due to the banned Gender Studies, made it into the 301-400. category in 2012. In the same year, University of Szeged ranked 401-500, and in 2015 both institutes were among the best 500.
Ranking Criteria
The compilation of the ranking is based on different indicators, but it basically boils down to three factors: scientific publications, international prestige and the interest of students from abroad.
Among other things for example, they take into account the number of former students and professors with Nobel Prizes or Fields Medals, and how often researches from the university are cited.
