In the “THE World University Rankings by Subject”, TUM achieved the following places, among others:
- Computer Science: 14th (1st in Germany)
- Business and Economics: 31st (1st in Germany)
The THE rankings take various factors into account: on the one hand, academics worldwide are asked about the reputation of universities in research and teaching. On the other hand, data such as the number of publications per researcher, citations per publication, the ratio of teaching staff to students, third-party funding raised from industry, the number of patents and the degree of internationalization are evaluated. These indicators are weighted according to the prevailing culture in the various subject areas. In the recently published main edition of the THE Rankings, TUM is ranked 26th.
TUM also achieves excellent positions in other internationally renowned subject rankings such as the “Shanghai Rankings” and the “QS University Rankings by Subject”. In the latter, the university is ranked first in Germany and 31st internationally in Computer Science.
