The University improved its results in all five categories: teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industrial income.The ratio of publications to the number of academic staff has also developed favourably.
“This is a great result and accurately reflects the excellent work of our researchers and teachers.I am particularly delighted by the fact that our scores for both teaching- and research-related reputation metrics were higher than ever before,” states Rector Jukka Kola.
The 76th position is, by a clear margin, the University’s highest achievement in the Times Higher Education World University Ranking since its inception in 2010.While the methodology of the ranking remained unchanged, the source material for publications and citations is now the Elsevier Scopus database as opposed to the previously used Thomson Reuters Web of Science.
