“A wide variety of the academic fields at our university have once again achieved excellent positions in the highly regarded QS Ranking,” says Vice Rector Marja-Leena Laakso. “It’s great to see how broadly JYU’s various disciplines rank among the world’s top universities. The result demonstrates the strength of our multi-disciplinary university and the quality and impact of the research and training that it has undertaken in the national context. This is now the second year in a row when, in addition to our top field of educational sciences, various other fields continued to improve their ranking. I was also pleased to see a newcomer on the list this year. Last year, it was the well-established social science field, and now business and management are on the rise. As a university community we can be both pleased and proud of the results.”
