European University Ranking

YMMF European University Ranking

The YMMF European University Ranking is based on a tailored methodology that assesses a range of key criteria, including the duration of bachelor’s degree programmes, level of internationalisation, subject specialisation, language of instruction, and value for money, among others. While the ranking can be useful to all students, it is specifically designed with prospective bachelor’s students in mind.
