The Round University Ranking (RUR) is a globally recognized university ranking system that evaluates the performance of more than 1,100 leading universities from 82 countries. It is based on four main criteria: teaching quality, research performance, international diversity, and financial and academic sustainability.
Each criterion consists of several sub-indicators that assess academic performance based on accurate data, including the faculty-to-student ratio, the volume and impact of published research, the level of international collaboration, and the availability of funding and sustainability practices. This ranking helps enhance the global academic reputation of universities and serves as a reliable reference for students, researchers, and decision-makers worldwide.
