In addition to the overall evaluation of educational institutions, it also compares their subject-specific results in eleven separate categories. Since 2019, Brno University of Technology has been ranked in three of these categories.
Category Business and Economics reflects performance in three basic fields: business and management, accounting and finance, economics and econometrics. As last year, BUT shared the 501st-600th position. And as last year, it was the third Czech university after Charles University and Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín. A total of 1,067 institutions (77 more than last year) from 91 countries were evaluated. The best economics education is offered by MIT, Stanford, and Tsinghua University.
The Computer Science category monitors, among other things, outstanding results in the areas of software development and engineering; artificial intelligence and machine learning; cybersecurity and networks. VUT ranked 601st-800th. In the Czech comparison, it ranked 2nd-5th, shared for example with Masaryk University and the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). Charles University performed best. This year, the total number of institutions compared stood at 1,165 (23 more than last year), operating in 84 countries. Oxford, Cambridge, and ETH Zurich took the top three spots.
The Engineering compares universities based on their performance in five core disciplines: general engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and chemical engineering. With an overall ranking of 801st-1000th, BUT defended its leading position among domestic universities, which it shares with CTU, the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, and VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava. A total of 1,555 evaluated educational institutions from 98 countries represents an increase of 67 entities compared to last year. Harvard, Oxford, and MIT performed the best.
THE WUR by Subject methodology is based on five main pillars: Teaching (e.g., student-teacher ratio), Research Environment, Research Quality, Industry, and International Outlook. The results thus reflect not only academic quality, but also the practical impact of university research.
