The Western University of Timișoara reconfirms its leading position among Romanian universities in the top of the University Metaranking the edition published in 2024 managing to rank eighth nationally with a score of 11 points obtained following the evaluation process.
At the same time, the presence of UVT in this edition of the University Metaranking confirms the leading position of our university among the universities in the western part of Romania, placing our university in the first position among the 4 ranked Timisoara universities (UVT - position 8, UPT - position 10 , UMFVBT – position 14, USVRMT – position 17), even when the methodological criteria of the analysis have a character dynamic.
Similar to previous editions, the evaluation of universities through this Metaranking consisted in identifying Romanian universities with minimal international visibility (present in at least one ranking included in the analysis) and whose activity generated impact in the international academic area.
According to the methodology used, the results and performances of universities obtained in the following international academic rankings of universities were taken into account: Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU); Center for World University Rankings (CWUR); Leiden Ranking (CWTS); Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers of World Universities (NTU); QS World University Rankings (QS); SCImago Institutions Rankings (SCImago); Times Higher Education (THE) World Universities Ranking; University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP); Best Global Universities by US News (USN).
From 2022, the University Metaranking is published under the auspices of the UBB Qualitas Center, with a team of internal and external experts. Since UBB signed COARA5, the University Metaranking will use exactly the already classic and tested methodology from 2016, but there will be no detailed public presentations/analyses, as in previous years.
