Top rankings in the dimensions of Teaching & Learning, Research, Knowledge Transfer, and International Orientation
21 June 2022
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has achieved excellent marks in several areas in the 2022 U-Multirank assessment. This applies to the university’s ranking as a whole as well as to the individual subjects under review.
This year's ranking positions JGU among the top group of universities in ten key indicators in the dimensions of Teaching & Learning, Research, Knowledge Transfer, and International Orientation. Two of these indicators relate to research publications and four of them to patents. In terms of international orientation, JGU is also positioned among the front-runners with regard to the numbers of international academic staff and international joint publications.
In addition, the participating disciplines Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics were also awarded top spots in the dimensions of Teaching & Learning, Research, Knowledge Transfer, and International Orientation.
The U-Multirank international university ranking was developed by a consortium of European higher education and research institutions. JGU took part in this year's ranking both at the level of the entire university and with regard to its Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics departments. The core feature of U-Multirank is that it does not publish standard ranking lists but instead assigns universities to one of five ranking groups for each key indicator.
