Ranking for multi-level comparison

U-Multirank is a unique, multidimensional and international ranking of higher education institutions. It allows students to compare university performance in an interactive way across such dimensions as: teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer, international orientation and regional engagement.

As this ranking does not use composite indicators or weighted scores, there is no numbered league table of the world’s best universities. Instead, it shows scores of universities on individual performance and creates a comparison of institutions with similar profiles.
