43rd Int. Symposium on University Rankings, Leiden, February 2009
Purpose of most national rankings: information for (prospective) students
Focus on teaching & learning in most rankings
Some specialised rankings:– e.g. CHE Rating: employability in Bachelor-programmes
Done by different types of institutions:– media (e.g. France, Italy, UK, Germany)– independent organisations (e.g. Perspektywy - Poland;
CHE - Germany; studiekeuze123 - NL)

53rd Int. Symposium on University Rankings, Leiden, February 2009
Growing demand for Europe-wide information about HEIs (European higher education area)
Rankings should refer to defined „markets“ (target groups, types of institutions, regions)
Regional extension of (originally) national CHE ranking:– Austria, Switzerland– Netherlands (2009: most universities)– individual institutions in other countries that are of
special interest for German (speaking) students• i.e. either programmes in German language (e.g. University
Babes-Bolyai Cluj; Semmelweis University – medicine)• substantial percentage of German students
II. International Rankings: European

63rd Int. Symposium on University Rankings, Leiden, February 2009
Purpose: information for mobile European Master- / PhD-students
Focus on MA-/PhD-programmes & research According to basic CHE approach:
– field-based– multi-dimensional– group approach, no league table
European ranking: indicator-based pre-selection of universities– bibliometric analysis– participation in Marie-Curie-programme– international students

four fields !

93rd Int. Symposium on University Rankings, Leiden, February 2009
Increasing dynamics to develop a broad European ranking
Alternative to global rankings that– are biased against other fields than the (bio-medical)
sciences– are biased against non-English-speaking countries– are exclusively focussing on research (Shanghai ranking)– have severe problems with regard to validity / reliability
(THES ranking)
Pushed forward by French initiative during French EU presidency
Conference in November 2008

December 2009: Call for Tender by European Commission: „Design and testing the feasibility of aMulti-dimensional Global University Ranking”
Main elements:– global ranking– field based rankings (business, engineering) &
institutional ranking– multi-dimensional approach (teaching& learning,
research, internationalisation, community outreach)– all levels of education (Bachelor, Master, PhD)– universities plus non-university HEIs and non-university
research institutions– broad range of target groups (students, teachers &
researchers, university leaders, enterprises…)
