RankPro

4minút, 18sekúnd

In RankPro, universities are ranked based on their performance in three areas:

  • academic ranking focused on the academic possibilities of a university
  • ranking by BC-index focused on the communicability and information availability on a university homepage
  • public ranking focused on national and international reputation of a university

A special feature of the ranking is the subjective assessment by the International Committee of Scientists, which is compiled by the ranking agency. The Academic Ranking indicator takes into account information on the number of male and female students, their proportions at each level of study, the number of male and female staff, the proportion of international students, etc. The BC-Index takes into account the availability of information on the English version of the University’s website on various topics (e.g. campus information, general information, etc.). The results for the Public Ranking indicator are based on the University’s reputation within the country and worldwide, based on a survey conducted by the International Committee of Scientists.

Ranking of UPJŠ

Data from RankPro 2022/2023 indicate a significant decline not only of UPJŠ but of all Slovak universities that participated in the ranking. UPJŠ dropped by 117 places compared to last year. Within the Czech Republic and Slovakia, UPJŠ retained 7th place, within Slovakia 3rd place, but among the V4 countries it dropped from 14th to 16th place. Despite the significant drop in the overall ranking, UPJŠ improved in the BC-Index and Public ranking indicators, indicating increasing transparency in access to information about the university and a growing reputation of the university.

According to RankPro data, UPJŠ maintained its position in the global ranking, although it was ranked 3rd in Slovakia. This drop of one place was caused by a new addition to the family of Slovak universities – the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice. Unlike the other Slovak universities that took part in the ranking in 2020, UPJŠ successfully defended its place, as the remaining universities experienced a drop. Within the Czech Republic and Slovakia, UPJŠ ranked 4th out of 12 universities ranked.
