About
Rankings and recognition
Our results in international sustainability and university rankings, by year.
TUIT takes part in international rankings because they show us, in comparable terms, where our work on sustainability is strong and where it is not yet good enough. The Department of National and International Rankings coordinates every submission.
THE Impact Rankings
The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings assess universities against the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. From 2027 THE publishes the assessment as the Sustainability Impact Ratings.
