University rankings
University rankings are an important criterion when choosing an educational institution. They are compiled by both national and international experts and cover various aspects of university activities, including quality of education, scientific achievements, global reputation, as well as infrastructure and resources. These rankings help applicants and their parents make an objective choice of educational institution, considering their personal needs and ambitions. It’s also important to remember that rankings are just one of many factors that should be considered when choosing a university.
