New world ranking: 5 Hungarian universities listed among the top ones!
Five Hungarian universities have been added to the latest list of the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). ELTE (Eötvös Loránd University) and the University of Szeged are considered to be the best this year.
The creators of the ARWU ranking categorised the included Hungarian universities in the following groups: Eötvös Loránd University ranked 601-700, the University of Szeged ranked 601-700, Semmelweis University ranked 701-800, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics ranked 801-900, and the University of Debrecen ranked 901-1000.
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was published in 2003 by Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. The survey has been conducted since 2009 by an independent organisation, ShanghaiRanking.
When compiling the list, experts examined the scientific work of nearly three thousand higher education institutions.
According to Eduline, the institutions were assessed for the ranking on the basis of six indicators, including the professional recognition of lecturers, researchers, and former students, publications, citations of research papers, and per capita academic performance.

A better headline would be ‘5 Hungarian universities nearly at the bottom of the league’.
