The CHE Centre for Higher Education has published its ranking. New evaluations for the subjects assessed in the CHE ranking are done in a three-year cycle. In this year's CHE ranking, the subjects evaluated were biochemistry, biology/bioscience, chemistry, dentistry, geography, geoscience, information technology (IT), mathematics, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physics, political science, sociology, and sports sciences.
The ranking reflects facts from the areas of study, teaching, and research as well as evaluations from students. Students marked the University of Freiburg with the grade of "very good" in many areas. Positive student grading of at least 3.8 stars in the areas of organisation of study, introduction to academic work, IT-infrastructure, available space, and for many subjects, merit special emphasis. The CHE ranking also illustrates the strong support students receive when they begin their studies at the University of Freiburg. Here, the University of Freiburg placed in the top group in many subject areas.
About the CHE ranking
The CHE ranking allows comprehensive comparison of colleges and universities in different subjects. Facts as well as evaluation are gathered. The fact-indicators are presented in ranking groups, including classification into top, midfield, and bottom of the table. Student assessments are presented as stars, with five stars being the best and one star representing the worst. A total of around 120 thousand students were surveyed within the framework of the CHE University Ranking.
