The University of Porto appears among the 300 best in the world in the 2022 edition of the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU 2022), known as the Shanghai ranking.


The information is provided by the U.Porto news website, which also mentions that it is the institution's best position ever in the oldest and one of the most prestigious international higher education rankings, drawn up by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy.


With assiduity in the Shanghai ranking since 2007, the U.Porto had the best rating for being among the 301st and 400th best in the world, a position it repeated for 11 consecutive years, from 2011 to 2021. This year's position is shared with the University of Lisbon.


For the 20th year in a row, the ranking is led by Harvard University (USA), followed by Stanford University (USA), MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) and the universities of Cambridge (UK) and Berkeley (USA), respectively.


This year's edition examined more than 2,500 institutions to establish the rating, according to criteria that include the number of Nobel and Fields medals - the Nobel of Mathematics - among postgraduate students and professors, the number of most cited researchers in their field and the number of articles published in Science and Nature journals.


Last month, the 2022 edition of ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects also placed the University of Porto among the best in the world in 33 scientific subjects.
