The UniRank University Ranking is an international non-academic ranking that assesses not the quality of education directly, but the level of representation and popularity of universities in the web space.
Its goal is to form an objective ranking based on independent web analytics, without using data provided by the universities themselves.
The methodology is based on a special algorithm that takes into account data from authoritative online sources, ensuring impartiality and transparency of the results. Only those universities that meet certain international standards are included in the ranking.
The ranking is formed with the participation of an international expert community, in particular the IREG Observatory on Academic Ranking and Excellence, which confirms its reliability and compliance with global approaches to assessment.
