The British science magazine "Times Higher Education" (THE) has now published its World University Ranking 2025. It is one of the most important international university comparisons. Leuphana University Lüneburg, ranked 401-500 this year, continues to be among the top 20 percent of the nearly 3,000 best universities worldwide considered for the ranking.
In Germany, Leuphana is ranked 38th among the best-rated universities. In Lower Saxony, it ranks third among the universities represented in the ranking. In terms of research quality, Leuphana is ranked 17th in Germany, putting it in the top third of the rated universities. With 83.8 out of 100 possible points, it ranks second in Lower Saxony, behind the University of Göttingen.
The World University takes into account a total of 18 performance indicators, which are divided into five areas: teaching, research, citations, international orientation and third-party funding from industry. The data basis for the evaluation was 157 million citations from 18 million research publications, surveys of around 90,000 scientists from around the world about the reputation of universities in research and teaching, and statistical surveys provided by the universities. More than 2,000 research-intensive universities from 115 countries were ranked.
As in previous years, the current international ranking is headed by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The best-performing German university in the international comparison is the Technical University of Munich, which is ranked 26th worldwide.
