In the latest ranking, the Warsaw University of Technology was classified in three scientific disciplines: 

  1. Metallurgical Engineering was the most highly ranked as 101-150 in the world (an increase compared to last year) and second in Poland (AGH: 51-75). There were 300 universities listed in this discipline. 
  2. A good score was also noted in  Instruments Science & Technology – ranked 201-300 worldwide (maintaining its position) among 400 nominees and fourth place in the country (AGH: 151-200; PG: 151-200; PO: 151-200). 
  3. Last year’s position was also maintained in Physics – ranked 401-500 globally (from among 500 nominees) and fourth in Poland (AGH: 151-200; UW: 151-200); UJ: 201-300; UMK: 401-500; UWr: 401-500). 

This year’s list contains over 2000 universities classified, (with over 5000 considered) from around 100 countries and dependent territories.
