Posted date: 21 Jun 2019

The results of QS World University Rankings 2019 were announced today. Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) has kept a stable position and is among 800 best higher education institutions in the world.

Several thousands of universities from all over the world are applying to be ranked by QS World University Rankings, however, only a small part of them succeed. This year, 1001 universities were ranked; 4 of them – from Lithuania.

“To keep a stable position in the global rankings is always a good result. Especially, if we take into account the fact that more and more higher education institutions are being ranked every year, and in order to make it to the rankings they have to meet relatively high benchmark criteria. Naturally, we always want impressive jumps in the rankings, however, the efficiency is reflected in constant positive growth. The fact that KTU is gradually improving different criteria in the rankings shows our ability to focus and to priorities our goals”, says Lolita Jurkšien?, Head of KTU Performance Management Department.

The results of QS World University Rankings reveal that KTU significantly improved its Academic Reputation criterion (+15.1%). This demonstrates the University’s successful partnerships with other higher education institutions while collaborating in study and research fields and developing strategic partnerships and joint projects.
