The list compilers of QS examine a number of indicators, including the relative academic and scientific impact, measured by the number of citations per academic member of staff. It is particularly in this respect that TU/e is a top performer, ranked 56th worldwide. Also in terms of the percentage of international staff, the university is highly ranked at 72nd. As for the number of international students and academic reputation, the scores are somewhat lower for TU/e. “We are pleased to be moving up this ranking,” is the reaction of TU/e rector Frank Baaijens. “Especially the acknowledgement of the excellence of our research, which is a wonderful compliment to our staff. We still lag behind somewhat in terms of our international academic reputation, specifically in Asia. So this is a unique opportunity for TU/e.”
