The Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2017 list came out this past Wednesday night, and the University of Debrecen got ranked 201-250 in it. (The acronym BRICS is made up of the initial letters of the names of five significant emerging economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and (Republic of) South Africa.)

The top universities ranking uses a similar methodology as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, covering all core missions of a world-class university: the quality of teaching (the learning environment), research (volume, income and reputation), citations (research influence), international outlook (staff, students and research), and industry income (innovation), comprised in five groups of thirteen carefully calibrated individual performance indicators. At present, there are two universities from China topping the list but, altogether, six of the top ten institutions are from this Far Eastern country.

From Hungary, a total of seven institutions of higher education have been ranked by THE.
