BC, Vilnius, 22.10.2015.Print version
QS World University Rankings has published a list of the best universities in the region of Emerging Europe and Central Asia. Among Baltic universities, Tartu is taking the best position – 4th, writes LETA/ELTA.

Vilnius University (VU) jumped up by 13 ranking positions and made it to the top 20, ranking in the 19th place, the university reports.

 

"I am delighted that VU maintains a strong leadership position in Lithuania and peaked in this ranking, but our main goal is to align with the world's best universities in the global, not just regional QS ranking. And VU is on the right track – we are gradually upgrading our position for the last two years," said VU Rector Arturas Zukauskas.

A total of nine factors, such as academic and employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, papers per faculty, web impact and others, are assessed, each of which contributes a certain proportion towards institutions' overall scores.

 

VU received highest ranking positions for its Academic Reputation, Employer's Reputation and for Citations per Paper.
