CHE University Ranking

The CHE University Ranking (Center for Higher Education Development) is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German universities and universities of applied sciences.

It comprises the opinions of over 120,000 students on the study conditions at participating universities and is divided into three main surveys that lead to the creation of indicators and the subsequent ranking. In detail, these are

  • Department survey (subject-specific data)

  • Student survey (study conditions, organization and satisfaction) - for Bachelor (October - February) and Master (January - July).

  • Professor survey (research reputation)

The aims are to obtain information on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual subjects, to support prospective students in their choice of degree course and to promote the further development of the degree courses.
