The CHE University Ranking aims to provide orientation for potential university students. Appearing annually in May, it serves as a guideline to select a university suitable to their preferred area of study. The CHE conducts subject-specific comparisons only, assigning the subject-specific profiles with strengths and weaknesses of the individual universities to three different ranking groups (top, middle and bottom group).
