NUBIP of Ukraine among top universities by ARES-2016
This year annual ARES (Academic Ranking European Standards) became the issue of interest for many participants as in Ukraine so from abroad. This ranking is done in direct accordance with European Standards and Guidelines for quality assurance in the European higher education area.
The fact that the achievements of academic achievements do not depend on human factor and this ranking does not depend on such parameters as Nobel prize laureates (by ARWU the absence of Nobel Prize laureates lowers the ranking) makes ARES more inviting for universities. This year the results of this ranking are to some extent surprising.
European scientific and industrial chamber which unites employers from Western and Eastern Europe presented ARES-2016. This ranking assesses the ability of higher educational establishments to provide students with all necessary knowledge, to conduct scientific researches as well to interact with future employers.
National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine takes the 10th place among 61 Ukrainian higher educational establishments. The number 61 is the highest possible number of universities which are permitted to participate in this ranking. In fact our university shares the eighth place with other two universities. We are ahead of such universities as Uzhhorod National University, Lviv Polytechnical Mining University in comparison with 2015 when these universities were ahead of our university. By the way Kyiv-Mohyla academy has taken only the 18th place. Now we are close to such universities as Odesa National University named after I. Mechnikov and Chernivtsi national university named after I. Fedkovych.
NUBiP of Ukraine has the category ВВВ+ by this ranking.
