International Rankings
THE World University Rankings provide a list of the world’s leading universities with a strong focus on research performance. They are the only global university rankings that assess research‑intensive institutions across all their core missions: teaching (the learning environment), research environment (volume, income and reputation), research quality (research excellence), industry (knowledge transfer) and international outlook (staff, students and research). They use 18 carefully selected performance indicators to ensure a more comprehensive and balanced comparison. The overall ranking is complemented by 11 subject‑specific rankings.
THE Impact Rankings, launched in 2019, are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to the overall ranking, 17 separate tables are published to show universities’ progress on each individual SDG.
NUBiP of Ukraine is ranked in the 1501+ band in the THE World University Rankings 2026 and holds 10th position among Ukrainian universities in this ranking.

QS World University Rankings - is an annual ranking developed by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to evaluate the performance of universities worldwide, and it is considered one of the most influential and widely used global university rankings. The most recent edition lists over 1,500 institutions across 105 higher education systems, offering broad global coverage.
The QS ranking uses a set of key indicators to assess universities, including academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-to-student ratio, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio, international student ratio, employment outcomes and sustainability. Because of this focus on reputation, research impact, internationalisation and graduate outcomes, the QS World University Rankings has a significant impact on universities and their stakeholders, influencing strategic planning, student choice and international partnerships.
NUBiP of Ukraine is ranked in the 1401+ band in the QS World University Rankings 2025 and holds 11th position among Ukrainian universities featured in this ranking.

UI GreenMetric World University Ranking - is an annual ranking of green campuses and environmental sustainability, launched by Universitas Indonesia in 2010. It has become an important tool for assessing the environmental performance of universities worldwide, growing from 95 universities in 35 countries in 2010 to 1,147 universities from 95 countries in the 2024 edition.
The ranking is based on the belief that universities play a key role in collective stakeholder and community efforts to combat climate change. Its mission is to organise an annual global sustainability ranking, to promote sustainable practices at universities around the world, to provide sustainability‑related services, and to foster international partnerships in this field. Universities are assessed on their efforts to reduce environmental impact and to implement innovative ideas in energy saving, water conservation, waste management and green transportation.
The ranking uses 39 indicators grouped into six key criteria:
-
Setting & Infrastructure (SI) – 15%: proportion of open green space to total area, budget for sustainability initiatives, infrastructure for persons with disabilities, health and safety measures.
-
Energy & Climate Change (EC) – 21%: use of energy‑efficient appliances, implementation of smart buildings, renewable energy, greenhouse gas reduction programmes, total carbon footprint.
-
Waste (WS) – 18%: recycling programmes, reduction of paper and plastic use, treatment of organic, inorganic and toxic waste.
-
Water (WR) – 10%: water conservation programmes, water recycling, use of water‑saving devices, consumption of treated water.
-
Transportation (TR) – 18%: ratio of vehicles to campus population, shuttle services, zero‑emission policies, pedestrian pathways.
-
Education & Research (ED) – 18%: share of sustainability‑related courses, funding for sustainability research, scientific publications, student organisations and sustainability‑focused start‑ups.
