JYU climbs higher in the ranking of best universities
JYU’s position in the latest ranking was 333, while it was 346 last year. The list includes only 1,002 top universities of the world. Therefore, any position on the list is an achievement. The list includes nine universities from Finland. Among Finnish universities, JYU was the 4th.
“The ranking puts a lot of weight on the university’s international reputation,” says Vice Rector Marja-Leena Laakso. “We can be very happy for our position. It proves that our research and education is distinguished also internationally.”
The ranking is based on six indicators with different weight: academic reputation (40%), employer reputation (10%), faculty/student ratio (20%), citations per faculty (20%), international student ratio (5%) and international staff ratio (5%).
JYU managed especially well in the faculty/student ratio and the international staff ratio, clearly exceeding the international median. Also citations per faculty exceeded the international median.
