The THE ranking assesses 13 performance indicators in the areas of research, teaching, knowledge transfer, and internationality. The overall score and rank of each university is based on surveys among researchers and data gathered in five categories (teaching, international outlook, industry income, research, and citations).
Ulm University achieves a particularly excellent result in the category 'citations' on a national level: The only researchers cited more frequently in scientific journals throughout the assessment period were from the Charité in Berlin and the universities of Hohenheim, Heidelberg and Bielefeld.
'The THE ranking shows that Ulm University is well-established among the best universities worldwide. Our excellent performance in the area of citations in scientific journals in particular is a testament to our research strength,' sums up university president Professor Michael Weber.
