Warsaw University of Technology in the EngiRank 2025 ranking

WUT Main Building

EngiRank has been released each year since 2023.

In this year’s ranking, our university secured 72nd place in Europe (alongside two French institutions and one from the Czech Republic) and ranked fourth nationwide. We also reached the national podium in five of the seven thematic EngiRank 2025 categories.

EngiRank is the European Ranking of Engineering Studies developed by the “Perspektywy” Educational Foundation, assessing universities from countries with comparable legal and cultural frameworks. EngiRank 2025 covers 36 countries of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and includes 300 institutions in both the institutional ranking and the subject specific lists.

In the prestigious Top 100 group of technical universities, alongside WUT, there are also: AGH University of Krakow, which shares 50th place with nine institutions from the United Kingdom, France, Greece and Sweden; Silesian University of Technology, ranked 67th ex aequo with Gdańsk University of Technology and three other institutions from France and Croatia; and Wrocław University of Science and Technology, placed 76th ex aequo with six institutions representing the United Kingdom, Serbia, France and Germany.

The Technical University of Denmark, Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands) and KU Leuven (Belgium) are the top three technical universities in 2025, maintaining their podium positions since 2023.

The institutional ranking evaluates universities using five criteria. The two most heavily weighted are Research (28%) and Innovation (25%), which together account for 53% of the score. The third criterion, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, reflects performance related to the UN 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goal 9 and carries a weight of 10%. The fourth criterion, Internationalisation, accounts for 16%, while the final one – Engineering and Technological Capabilities – links the institutional ranking with the subject‑specific classifications and represents 21% of the overall score.

In addition to the institutional ranking, EngiRank evaluates universities across seven thematic areas (disciplines). Warsaw University of Technology achieved the following positions:

  • Chemical Engineering – 56th in Europe, second in Poland
  • Civil Engineering – 84th in Europe, fifth in Poland
  • Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Information Engineering – 62nd in Europe, second in Poland
  • Environmental Engineering – 130th in Europe, fifth in Poland
  • Materials Engineering – 50th in Europe, second in Poland
  • Mechanical Engineering – 80th in Europe, second in Poland
  • Medical Engineering – 73rd in Europe, third in Poland

EngiRank is based on external sources of information about European higher education institutions: the Scopus bibliographic database, the PATSTAT database of the European Patent Office (EPO), data on participation in European Commission initiatives (CORDIS), and databases of programmes accredited by quality‑assurance agencies (ABET, ENAEE).
