About U-Multirank

U-Multirank 2022 evaluated 2,202 universities from 96 countries worldwide. While traditional global rankings focus mainly on 400-500 of the world’s research universities (only about 2-3 per cent of the world’s higher education institutions), U-Multirank covers a far broader range including small, specialised colleges, art and music academies, technical universities, agricultural universities, universities of applied sciences as well as comprehensive research universities and others.  

The ranking uses a multi-dimensional approach that compares the performance of universities in the five dimensions of university activity: (1) teaching and learning, (2) research, (3) knowledge transfer, (4) international orientation and (5) regional engagement – grading each of them from A (very good) to E (weak).

U-Multirank 2022 ranking is based on data from the academic year 2020-2021 and from the calendar year 2020.
