On the other hand, when compared to other Polish universities, it received the highest ranking in two indicators: the number of foreign students and the number of employees with a PhD degree. In terms of academic reputation and reputation among employers it took 3rd place in Poland.
The first time Lodz University of Technology was ranked was in 2018; since then its position has increased by 32 positions.
The top of this year's ranking was dominated by Russian and Turkish universities. The podium places went to Lomonosov Moscow State University, University of Tartu and Saint Petersburg State University.
As Justyna Kopańska explains, the methodology of the ranking takes into account the key indicators of the global QS World University Rankings, such as academic reputation, reputation among employers and staff-to-student ratio, but has also been expanded to include region-specific indicators.
