UGA moves ever upwards in the QS 2022 thematic rankings, entering the top 50 for three disciplines cover by OSUG
UGA is therefore among the leading French universities: It is the 6th French university globally, and the first university outside Paris in Natural Sciences after Sorbonne University (14th), PSL (17th), Université Paris Saclay (20th), Institut Polytechnique de Paris (22nd) and Université de Paris (58th).
This positive classification is in large part thanks to the unversity’s impressive research teams, coupled with its effective scientific policy developed in close collaboration with the national research organizations present in the Grenoble Alpes region.
Methodology of the QS thematic ranking
The QS World University Rankings by Subject ranks the world’s top universities in five broad areas, one of them being Natural Sciences, covering 51 subjects. These rankings are designed to help prospective students identify the world’s best universities in their chosen field, in response to the high demand for subject comparisons.
Each subject area ranking is compiled from four sources. The first two are QS’ global surveys of academics and employers, which are used to assess the international reputation of institutions in each subject area. The other two indicators assess research impact, based on research citations per article and the h-index in the subject area. These data come from Elsevier’s Scopus database, the most comprehensive research citation database in the world.
