There is no point looking for Polish universities in the first three hundred best universities in QS World University Ranking. Six Polish universities have been included, the best of them - the University of Warsaw - ranks 344th.

QS World University Ranking is prepared by British company Quacquarelli Symmonds, which issues publications on education and studies abroad.

Approx. 900 universities from 82 countries have been included in the ranking. Most universities were from the U.S. (154), Great Britain (71), Germany (43) and France (41).

First place in the ranking went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. The university has been the ranking leader for several years. In second place was American Harvard, and British Cambridge was recognized as the best European university, with third place in the QS ranking.

Six Polish universities have been included in the ranking: the University of Warsaw (344th place), Jagiellonian University (in the ranking group 411-420), Warsaw University of Technology (in the group 651-700) and the University of Łódź, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and the University of Wrocław in the group with places from 701.

The factors taken into account in the ranking include international prestige of the university according to academics and employers, the ratio of the size of the faculty to the number of students, the number of citations per lecturer, the percentage of foreign lecturers and foreign students.

QS World University Ranking has been prepared annually for 12 years. The main purpose of the ranking is to allow university candidates to make a rational choice of university and popularise the idea of studying outside home country.
