Six Hungarian universities, including Semmelweis University, have been listed among the best thousand higher education institutions of the world by Center of World University Rankings (CWUR). This year Semmelweis University has been ranked as the 631st in this list, with which it is currently the best biomedical university in Hungary.
Among the Hungarian institutions, similarly to the results of last year, Eötvös Loránd University has been ranked as the 488th, Semmelweis University as the 631st and Debrecen University is the third Hungarian university in the ranking with its 661st place. The following Hungarian universities can also be found in the list: University of Szeged (708th place), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (850th place) and University of Pécs (877th place).
CWUR ranks the universities on the basis of eight aspects: the quality of education; the carrier achievements of alumni; the excellence of teachers; the number of publications; the impact factor and the number of patents. The quality of education is measured on the basis of the number of international awards received by the graduated students of the given institution. The carrier achievements of alumni are measured on the basis of how many of them are appointed managing directors of leading companies worldwide.
