Since 2004, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has compiled an annual ranking of the world's universities, based on six criteria. The final ranking is based on academic reputation, employer reputation, the citation rate of academic work associated with the institution, the teacher-student ratio and the number of international professors and students. Data from nearly 1,700 universities were compared, based on tens of millions of documents and 96 million citations. Of the 1673 institutions, the top 1,300 were ranked.

the ratio of international students has put us among the top 200 universities in the world, which we are especially proud of.

We want to reinforce this popularity by continuously developing our university infrastructure and by providing ever higher quality education," emphasized the Rector .
