On June 8th we learned the results of the 17th nationwide ranking of higher education institutions, organized by the “Perspektywy” monthly and the “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna” daily. The UW earned 100 points and was ranked 1st, and thus, it was recognised as the best university in the country. Our university was 1.8 point ahead of the Jagiellonian University, with whom it competes since the beginning of this ranking.
The ranking compared 90 Polish universities and colleges. The authors ranked them according to the following categories: scientific effectiveness, prestige, scientific potential, internationalization of studies, learning conditions, innovativeness.
Defining the goals of the University of Warsaw, its Rector, professor Marcin Pałys, said: – We strive to conduct such scientific research that would have a serious and important impact on the development of world science and be visible from both national and international perspective.
