THE Young University Ranking 2019: Jacobs University Bremen is one of the best young universities in the world

Bremen (ots) - Once again, Jacobs University performed excellently
in a university ranking. In the 2019 Times Higher Education (THE)
Young University Ranking for universities which are younger than 50
years, the international, English-language campus university ranks
26th out of 351 participating universities from 60 countries. It was
graded as one of the five best young universities in Germany.

Jacobs University scored particularly high for its
internationality and the excellence of its teaching. In a worldwide
comparison, Jacobs University achieved an outstanding 11th place in
the category "Teaching" and is among the top 25 young universities in
the world in the category "Research".

"The ranking results impressively confirm our concept as an
international campus university with a focus on research, teaching
and innovation. They are an expression of the outstanding commitment,
dedication and enthusiasm of all employees at our young university. I
would like to express my thanks and respect for this impressive team
effort," said Prof. Dr. Michael Hülsmann, President of Jacobs
University. Jacobs University was founded in 1999 and began its
research and teaching activities in 2001.

"We are very proud in particular of the fact that teaching at
Jacobs University has performed so impressively well in the
international comparison of young universities," adds Prof. Dr.
Werner Nau, Dean of Jacobs University who's responsible for the
Bachelor's programs and the Focus Area Health. The university took
second place worldwide in the Department of Health - immediately
after the Sorbonne Université in Paris, which was founded in 2018.
Other top 10 global rankings in teaching were achieved in the fields
of Psychology (3rd place), History (4th place), Economics (6th
place), Geography, Environmental Sciences, Geo- and Marine Sciences
(7th place) as well as Chemistry and Physics (10th place each). In
the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, teaching at
Jacobs University ranks eleventh worldwide.

The THE Young University Ranking uses thirteen different
indicators to assess the performance of a university. It uses the
same methodology as the THE World University Ranking. In this
comparison, in which 1,250 universities participated, Jacobs
University ranked among the top 300 universities worldwide. Only
recently, the international U-multirank university ranking and the
leading German university comparison, the CHE ranking, also gave
Jacobs University top marks.
