1,500 of the 2,963 higher education institutions in 104 countries - including 82 new entrants - were included in the QS World University Rankings 2024 published by QS on Tuesday. DE is ranked 671-680, i.e. it is in the first quarter of the examined field, and maintains its second place among Hungarian universities.
The specialists of London-based Quacquarelli Symonds have been preparing the world ranking of higher education institutions since 2004. When compiling the list, the six criteria used so far - faculty / student ratio (20%), employer reputation (15%), citations per faculty (20%), academic reputation (30%), and international student ratio & international faculty ratio (5-5 %) were taken into account, as well as the universities' employment effectiveness (5%), participation in international research networks, and the institutional appearance of the sustainability approach (5%). As in previous years, the University of Debrecen was the best in terms of the ratio of foreign students, but it was also excellent in the new indicators.
The rankings are headed by the University of Debrecen’s overseas partner, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Untitled Sates this year, too. MIT is followed by the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Eleven institutions from Hungary were included in the list; in addition to the University of Debrecen, the University of Szeged, Eötvös Loránd University and the University of Pécs achieved the best results.
