Hungarian universities among the world’s top ones
According to eduline.hu, four Hungarian universities made it to the world’s top 1000. These are the Eötvös Loránd University, the Semmelweis University, the University of Technology and Economics in Budapest and the University of Szeged. The Semmelweis University and the Eötvös Loránd University ranked at the top of the Hungarian institutions. They both are between the 601-700th positions. Meanwhile, the University of Szeged is the 701-800th and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics the 901-1000th place.
The ranking has been conducted since 2003 by China’s Jiao Tong University. They publish the results every year in August.
According to their website, “ARWU considers every university that has any Nobel Laureates, Fields Medalists, Highly Cited Researchers, or papers published in Nature or Science. In addition, universities with a significant amount of papers indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) are also included. In total, more than 2500 universities are actually ranked, and the best 1000 are published”.
The most trustworthy ranking
Universities are ranked by several academic and research performance indicators, including alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited researchers, papers published in Nature and Science, papers indexed in major citation indices, and the per capita academic performance of an institution, they wrote.
