Uni.lu now occupies the 355<sup>th<\/sup> position, out of more than 1,500 universities included in the ranking, and is among the top 24% worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decisive scores that weighed in this significant progression include the University\u2019s faculty-student ratio, employment outcomes and international research network. Indeed, the University occupies 1,500 academic staff for 7,500 students, which allows for personalised teaching and small-numbered classes. A recent graduate survey showed that nearly 60% of master students were employed or self-employed, while more than 50% of alumni decide to stay in Luxembourg after their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spring brought good news, as the University\u2019s efforts in education and research quality were rewarded. Notably, Uni.lu jumped up four positions in the Times Higher Education <em>Young University Rankings 2024<\/em>, from 24<sup>th<\/sup> to 20<sup>th<\/sup> position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World rankings have become an important aspect in academia in recent years. They present benchmarks in various topics and study areas, and constitute an accessible quality assessment tool for many stakeholders: researchers and teaching staff, students and PhD\u2019s, staff or partners. While they are only one indicator of the quality and attractiveness of a university among many other factors, their data-based assessment ensures unbiased and neutral calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full QS World University Rankings 2025 will be published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topuniversities.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>topuniversities.com<\/em>.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-section py-0\">\n    <div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n        \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"discover-more\"\n    >\nDiscover more<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover quick-link-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-item\">\n    <a\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/about\/profile\/rankings-accreditations\/\"\n                    class=\"quick-link\"\n            target=\"\"\n    >\n            <span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n                <span class=\"quick-link__text\">\n                    Rankings and accreditations                <\/span>\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-item\">\n    <a\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/about\/profile\/facts-figures\/\"\n                    class=\"quick-link\"\n            target=\"\"\n    >\n            <span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n                <span class=\"quick-link__text\">\n                    Facts and figures                <\/span>\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<p><sub>Photo: \u00a9 University of Luxembourg \/ Sophie Margue<\/sub><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University climbed 27 places in this year\u2019s QS World University Ranking 2025, a major jump from the 2024 ranking.
