The University climbed 27 places in this year’s QS World University Rankings 2025, a major jump from the 2024 ranking. Uni.lu now occupies the 355th position, out of more than 1,500 universities included in the ranking, and is among the top 24% worldwide.
Decisive scores that weighed in this significant progression include the University’s faculty-student ratio, employment outcomes and international research network. Indeed, the University occupies 1,500 academic staff for 7,500 students, which allows for personalised teaching and small-numbered classes. A recent graduate survey showed that nearly 60% of master students were employed or self-employed, while more than 50% of alumni decide to stay in Luxembourg after their studies.
This spring brought good news, as the University’s efforts in education and research quality were rewarded. Notably, Uni.lu jumped up four positions in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2024, from 24th to 20th position.
World rankings have become an important aspect in academia in recent years. They present benchmarks in various topics and study areas, and constitute an accessible quality assessment tool for many stakeholders: researchers and teaching staff, students and PhD’s, staff or partners. While they are only one indicator of the quality and attractiveness of a university among many other factors, their data-based assessment ensures unbiased and neutral calculations.
