This year, the annual university ranking "Top 200 Ukraine" was determined for the eleventh time in a row.
It has become a recognized system of independent evaluation of university activity for the academic community, employers and Ukrainian society as a whole. During the last decade, the rating "Top 200 Ukraine" stimulated healthy competition and competitiveness among the country's universities in accordance with the main criteria for evaluating their work.
The raw data for determining the specified rating were provided directly by the universities and obtained from independent Web resources.
Recognized leaders of Ukrainian education entered the top ten of the national rating. Every year they improve the indicators of their academic activity, strengthen ties with the labor market, take an active part in international activities, and are recognized by various international rating systems.
The international observation board of the rating "Top 200 Ukraine" rated the following three world-class achievements of Ukrainian universities the highest:
1. Creation and launch into space of the second university nanosatellite "PolyTan2" (NTUU KPI named after Igor Sikorskyi);
2. The victory of the "White hackers" team in a series of 60 global competitions in 2016 in cyber security (NTUU KPI named after Igor Sikorskyi);
3. Mathematician Maryna Vyazovska received the prestigious "Salem Award 2016" for solving the problem of the densest packing of spheres in 8- and 24-dimensional spaces using methods of modular forms (KNU named after Taras Shevchenko).
According to the set of criteria mentioned above, the sole winner of the "Top 200 Ukraine" 2017 rating was NTUU KPI named after Igor Sikorsky. It increased the gap from the rest of Ukrainian universities compared to 2016. The international observation board of the rating "Top 200 Ukraine" recognized that NTUU KPI named after Igor Sikorskyi created and developed a powerful innovation ecosystem "Sikorsky Challenge", brought to the market many more startups than all other universities of Ukraine, sold the most licenses for inventions, implemented the most projects in the defense system of Ukraine. Its graduates are most in demand by large international and national hi-tech companies.
KNU named after Taras Shevchenko and KhNU named after V.N. Karazin took the second and third places, respectively. Among other Ukrainian universities, they have the largest budgetary funding for scientific research, high citation indexes according to the Scopus and Web of Science systems, and a high level of demand for their graduates in the labor market, especially in the public administration sector.
The vast majority of universities included in the "Top 200 Ukraine" over the past 10 years show positive dynamics of their work. At the same time, the weak points of the higher education system of Ukraine include its significant isolation from the country's national economy, a low level of integration into the European and global educational and scientific spaces, a small share of scientific and innovative work in the curricula and the overall volume of university education. activity
