For such a relatively small country, Hungary has some big winners. In fact, three Hungarian universities are ranked in the top 500 universities in the world in life sciences and medicine.
The ranking is prepared by Quacquarelli Symonds international ranking company and is based on four criteria: academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper and h-index citations (i.e., the productivity and citation impact of a given university’s scholars).
Budapest
First up is Semmelweis University in Budapest, ranked in 262nd place, highest on the list. Semmelweis University is the oldest medical school in Hungary, founded in 1769, and is also the largest health care institution in the country. One third of the school’s students are international students; 82% of them are attending postgraduate programs. Semmelweiss University is also the alma mater of the Nobel Prize-winning Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Györgyi, the discoverer of vitamin C.
