U.S. News & World Report:
Heidelberg University is Germany’s Top University

New York – U.S.News & World Report’s recently released worldwide Colleges and Universities rankings confirmed Heidelberg University’s position as Germany’s top university. Thanks to its overall academic excellence and particular strengths in the Arts & Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Life Sciences and Biomedicine, Germany’s oldest university (founded in 1386) has a consistently solid ranking among the world’s top comprehensive universities. Heidelberg University is known for its international focus with almost 20 percent of all students and 30 percent of doctoral students coming from abroad.

The U.S. News & World Report’s rankings are based on data from the THE-QS World University Rankings, which were produced in association with QS Quacquarelli Symonds. QS Quacquarelli Symonds, one of the world's leading networks for careers and education, has been publishing world rankings since 2004.
