Characteristics of the CHE University Ranking
The CHE University Ranking is created on the basis of a long-established methodology, which sets it apart from other rankings in the German and English-speaking world in four essential respects: it is strictly subject-related and multidimensional, and gives a picture of HEIs from different perspectives. Another distinguishing feature is that it displays ranking groups instead of ranking positions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”Subject-related” tab_id=”1551700362850-5ec0f7b8-52b5″][vc_column_text]The CHE University Ranking is strictly subject-related. There is no comparison of entire HEIs on a level that goes beyond the subjects. This is based on the belief that there is no such thing as the “best higher education institution”. HEIs have specific profiles, featuring strengths and weaknesses in different subjects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Multidimensional” tab_id=”1551700362851-836b5f7a-54f0″][vc_column_text]The CHE University Ranking is multidimensional. This means that, for a given subject, no overall value is derived from weighted individual indicators. HEIs have very individual strengths and weaknesses, even within a subject (such as with regard to course offerings, support and equipment). In addition, there is no empirical or theoretical basis on which to weigh individual indicators. We have to assume that decision preferences among the target group of first-year students are heterogeneous. A pre-determined weighting of indicators would contradict this.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Different perspectives” tab_id=”1551701323458-7b5093ea-d8c8″][vc_column_text]The CHE University Ranking provides a picture of HEIs from different perspectives. In addition to facts about departments and degree programmes, the perspectives of lecturers and students are also incorporated into the ranking. This creates a more differentiated picture than that provided by rankings based only on surveying one particular group (such as students or staff managers only) and therefore allows for contrasts to be made between subjective assessments and objective indicators.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ranking groups” tab_id=”1551700693006-e2907ee8-16b6″][vc_column_text]Rather than giving HEIs an individual ranking position, the CHE University Ranking assigns them to one of three ranking groups: a top group, a middle group or an end group. In doing so, a situation is avoided in which minor differences in the nominal value of an indicator are misinterpreted as differences in performance and quality.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1566560150517{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 51px !important;background: #f2f2f2 url(https://keenitsolutions.com/products/wordpress/hepta/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/diagmonds-light.png?id=6227) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}” el_class=”slider-style2 overflow-visible” el_id=”rankingteam”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1576166273230{margin-top: 10px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;}” el_id=”Ranking_Team”][vc_infobox 1=”Hochschulranking“></a>” style=”style1″ title=”Experts” watermark=”Ranking” title_icon=”fa fa-cog” title_align=”left” text=”MitarbeiterInnen”][/vc_infobox][vc_grassyTeam cat=”che-ranking” team_per=”10″ type=”Grid” team_col=”4 Column”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1533630126164{padding-top: 65px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: #f4f7fc !important;}” el_id=”business-services”][vc_column width=”4/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1525510700234{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_infobox title=”Quality assurance in the CHE University Ranking” description=”On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment” title_align=”left” class=”“readon“” css=”.vc_custom_1603268245091{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”]The CHE University Ranking was introduced in 1998. It meets the highest demands when it comes to transparency, methodology and reliability. This was also confirmed by the international ranking expert group IREG in 2014. Three advisory committees help ensure the continuous refinement and quality assurance of the CHE University Ranking.
The CHE University Ranking is published by the German weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT. CHE is fully responsible for the conceptual design of the ranking, data collection and analysis. The cooperation partner DIE ZEIT is responsible for publishing, distributing and marketing the ranking. All results can be accessed free of charge on the internet.

These central coordinators ensure that surveys within their HEI are coordinated with the department concerned. Once a year, CHE and the central coordinators attend a coordinators’ meeting where participants recommend improvements to the survey, the operationalisation of the questions and the procedure for collecting data.[/vc_RsServices][vc_RsServices title=”Privacy Policy” type=”linecons” icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-news” titlecolor=”#222222″ icon_type=”material” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmethodik.che-ranking.de%2Fdatenerhebungen%2Fdatenschutz%2F%20|title:Datenschutzerkl%C3%A4rung|target:%20_blank|”]Here is an overview concerning the processing of personal data in the CHE University Ranking and data protection laws.[/vc_RsServices][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_RsServices title=”Subject Advisory Committees” type=”linecons” icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-search” titlecolor=”#222222″ icon_type=”material” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmethodik.che-ranking.de%2Fansatz%2Fbeiraete%2F%20|title:In%20Fachbeir%C3%A4ten%20vertretene%20Organisationen|target:%20_blank|”]Subject-related rankings require input and feedback on data and methods from the relevant subject-specific contexts. This is why a number of Subject Advisory Committees are committed to assisting CHE in the conceptual design of the ranking. Data for each subject is collected every three years. As such, the individual Subject Advisory Committees are reconstituted every three years. Members include representatives from faculty and departmental conferences, representatives from individual specialist bodies and student representatives.[/vc_RsServices][vc_RsServices title=”The Scientific Advisory Board” type=”linecons” icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-params” titlecolor=”#222222″ icon_type=”material” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmethodik.che-ranking.de%2Fansatz%2Fbeiraete%2F%20|title:Mitglieder%20des%20wissenschaftlichen%20Beirats||”]In contrast to the Subject Advisory Committees, the Scientific Advisory Board does not provide advice on individual subjects, but accompanies the entire CHE University Ranking in the further development of strategic issues in the scientific/conceptual area. It is made up of experts from academia, science and politics.[/vc_RsServices][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
