THE Announces Impact Rankings for 2022

Times Higher Education (THE), the world university ranking organization, developed a new ranking system under the title of "Impact Rankings" for the first time in 2019, and our University was included in this ranking. This ranking system, in which the question sets used to determine the effects of World Universities on society, environment and social development are renewed every year, aims to measure the strategies, policies and practices of universities in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals determined by the United Nations (UN). The THE Impact Rankings, which try to measure universities not only as an educational institution but also in terms of their impact on society, administration, social assistance, environment and health, evaluated the activities and academic data of universities in 2020 in the 2022 results.

THE evaluated 766 universities from 85 countries in 2020, 1,115 universities from 94 countries in 2021, and 1,406 universities from 106 countries this year. In our country, 39 universities in 2020, 52 in 2021, and 60 universities in 2022 sent data to the system.

Participating in THE Impact Rankings 2022 under 5 main headings, our University rose to the 201-300 band this year in the world overall ranking, where it was in the 301-400 band last year. Despite the increase in the number of participating universities, our increase in the overall score and ranking is also an indicator of an important success.

The results of our university in 2022 are as follows:

While Hacettepe University was in the 101-200 band in 2021 under the SDG 5 Gender Equality heading where data is sent every year, 938 universities from 101 countries are evaluated this year. Our University showed a great success and rose to 25th place with 73 total points and ranked first among universities in Turkey.

Our university, in the SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being title, in which 1101 universities from 98 countries are evaluated, maintained its place in the world rankings last year, and took its place in the 101-200 band and again became the 1st among universities in Turkey.

Hacettepe University maintained its position in the previous year by being ranked in the band 301-400 under the title of SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities, and 201-300 under the title of SDG 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.

In the SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals, where sending data for THE Impact Assessment is mandatory and 1438 universities from 108 countries are included in the ranking this year, Hacettepe University declined to the 401-600 band despite the increase in its overall and title-based scores.
