The Hungarian higher education sector is also performing outstandingly according to the 2025 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), also known as the Shanghai Ranking, the Culture and Innovation Ministry said on Friday.

More than 2,500 universities are ranked by ARWU, and the best 1,000 universities are published.

The ministry noted that the ARWU ranking, together with the Times Higher Education (THE) rankings and the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking, shows that the competitiveness of Hungarian universities is strong, as 12 of Hungary’s universities have been steadily represented in the top 5pc of the world for years.
