Aalto University has improved markedly in rankings specific to science, art, technology and business. We also place high in ranking lists comparing young universities.
Depending on how the figure is calculated, there are 17 000–22 000 universities in the world, of which approximately 1 000 are in Europe, around 70 in the Nordic countries, and 14 in Finland.
There are many ranking lists comparing universities using different indicators. Most rankings evaluate research publications – their number and, for example, citations they get in other researchers’ publications. Criteria may also include an international dimension, external funding, or the university’s reputation among researchers and employers. Usually, the overall score of a university is determined by combining its scores in different indicators.
Some comparisons are referred to as general rankings taking a holistic view of universities. Aalto University has scored well in general comparisons which focus on universities younger than 50 years of age.
Some rankings are specific to one subject or field only and are, thereby, more relevant to a university such as Aalto University which specialises in three fields. Different disciplines apply different publishing practices, and comparisons which focus on a specific field enable universities to be assessed on equal terms.
Organisations that produce rankings also create special lists of their extensive data, which take into account only one indicator or criterion, such as an international dimension, business cooperation or external financing.
