The QS ranking considers both environmental and social impact. A wide range of factors are assessed, from environmental projects on campus to research linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as how the university operates as an organisation.

Among the world leaders in environmental research

Linköping University’s strongest area in the ranking is environmental research, where LiU is ranked 25th in the world.

The British QS ranking is considered one of the world’s most influential university rankings. Each year, it presents an overall ranking of the world’s higher education institutions. This year, LiU was ranked 310th, placing the university among the top two per cent in the world.
