BREMEN, Germany, July 4, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

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.
