Methodology

The UnivPress Ranking is a data-based ranking. It is of all faculties and institutions, based on the national educational databases, based on teaching and student indicators, independent of field of study, and their aggregation. Each sub-ranking is calculated by a simple comparison of the numerical values of the indicators, ranking the values in order, irrespective of the degree of difference between the scores.

  • Academic staff with PhD – number
  • Academic staff with PhD – ratio
  • Academic staff with degree by Hungarian Academy of Sciences – ratio
  • Academic staff with PhD / students – number
  • Applications priorized – number
  • Applicants with secondary school competition awards
  • Average points of those admitted 
  • Percentage with a language test admitted
  • Number of PhDs awarded
