Method of ranking universities in Ukraine
Criteria, definitions, rating factors
Activities of the higher educational institutions are estimated on the
basis of the general index of rating estimation - ІG which is integral
and determined by three complex criteria :
ІG = ITj + IL j + IIN j
ITj — Index of quality of scientific pedagogical potential, the value of
which changes in the range [0-50%];
IL j — Index of education quality, changes in the range [0-30%];
IIN j — Index of international recognition, changes in the range [020%].
