Methodology

How do we calculate our rankings?

ÜniAR rankings are built on representative sampling, validated surveys and transparent weighting. Our goal is to measure student experience as impartially and reproducibly as possible.

Research Methodologies

Each study's scope, sampling approach, measurement instrument, data processes and scoring system are explained in detail in its own methodology document.

Research Process

01 Sample Design

Representative sample at university, faculty and class level; 65,000+ student participation.

02 Data Collection

Validated online surveys; removal of duplicate and inconsistent responses.

03 Dimensioning

Satisfaction is measured through overall satisfaction and 6 main dimensions, each scored independently.

04 Weighting & Scoring

Dimensions are combined with transparent weights into an overall score out of 100.

05 Letter-Grade Banding

Scores are converted into meaningful letter-grade bands from A+ to D.

06 Publication & Verification

Results are independently checked and released in public reports.
