ELTE University Continues to Rank Highly

The university has been ranked highly in two international higher education rankings.

Among Hungarian universities, ELTE achieved the best rating again this year,

ranked 485th. ELTE is followed by Semmelweis University in the 590th place, the University of Szeged in 796th place and the University of Debrecen in the 902nd place.
ELTE was ranked in 11 of the US News subject rankings. The university's excellent performance is shown by being ranked 129th in psychology, 135th in space science and 155th in physics.

It is also the best place to study in Hungary in four other fields: mathematics, geosciences, plant and animal sciences and social sciences, according to US News global ranking. In addition, ELTE was ranked among the best global universities in biology and biochemistry, environment/ecology, chemistry and clinical medicine.

In the ARWU world university ranking, ELTE was again within the 501-600 category this year, continuing to outperform all other Hungarian universities in terms of publication activity.

Last year, ELTE was the number one among Hungarian universities with this ranking, but this year the University of Szeged – thanks to Nobel Prize winners Katalin Kariko and Ferenc Krausz – advanced in the ranking, coming in first among Hungarian universities, in the 401-500 tier.

Two other Hungarian institutions were among the world's top: Semmelweis University, continuing to hold last year's ranking, in the 601-700 group, while the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, improving one category on last year's rating, was in the 801-900 tier.
