This represents a significant rise of 42 places from the previous year and marks WUT's highest-ever position in the history of this ranking.

Among Polish institutions, only the University of Warsaw (271st globally) and the Jagiellonian University (303rd) ranked higher than WUT. Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań secured fourth place nationally, ranking in the 741-750 band.

The top three universities globally in this year's ranking are:
