Uzhhorod University took 16th place among 326 higher education institutions of Ukraine in the Education.ua ranking for 2026. Compared with last year, the university rose by three positions, and relative to 2024 — by five.
The ranking was formed on the basis of open data on the admission campaign, scientific, educational and innovative activities of higher education institutions.
According to the results of previous years, Uzhhorod University demonstrates a consistent improvement in its positions. Thus, in 2024 it took 21st place, in 2025 — 19th, and this year it has risen to the 16th position.
During the formation of the ranking Education.ua took into account seven main indicators: the licensed volume of the institution, the number of applications submitted by entrants and the average competitive score, the student-to-teacher ratio, the number of teachers with academic degrees, the Hirsch index (h-index), the number of registered patents and users' interest in the university on the platform Education.ua.
To determine the final position, each of the indicators was brought to a single scale from 1 to 100 using the method of linear normalization. Then they were multiplied by the corresponding weighting coefficients and summed. The resulting score determined the institution's place in the overall ranking.
