The Advancement of Gdańsk University of Technology in the Shanghai Ranking | Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology at the Gdańsk University of Technology

The ranking has been compiled since 2003. The exact position in the ranking is known only for the top 100 universities in the world, while the remaining institutions are listed only in groups of 100. For the fifth consecutive year, Gdańsk University of Technology has been included in the ranking, advancing compared to last year and placing in the 801-900 range among the world's best universities.

“This is a tremendous success and proof that the consistent efforts of the entire academic community of Gdańsk University of Technology are yielding tangible results,” says Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, Rector of GUT. “The advancement of our university in this prestigious ranking is a result not only of scientific and educational excellence but also of strategic investments in faculty development, research infrastructure, and international collaboration.”

As usual, the podium of the ranking was dominated by U.S. universities – Harvard University, Stanford University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the ARWU 2024, eight Polish universities were classified. Among Polish higher education institutions, Gdańsk University of Technology is the third highest-ranked (in the 801-900 range). Higher positions were secured by Jagiellonian University and the University of Warsaw, both in the 401-500 range.
