With more than 20 years of expertise in the global higher education sector, focusing on the evaluation of programs for the past 15 years, the Eduniversal Evaluation Agency has been able to establish and apply 3 core principles:
Objectivity – Independence – Transparency
Transparency of our evaluation methods and the results of rankings
- with easily accessible reported methodology
- with survey rules available and endorsed by all participants
- with individual reports issued at the request of institutions seeking to understand their position in the rankings
Independence
- from national and state structures
- from media groups
- supported by an International Scientific Committee, composed of 9 unpaid experts, guaranteeing the respect of our methodology
Objective of our analysis
- by rating existing programs and not only those answering surveys
- by not asking for any fees to participate in surveys
- by referencing for free all ranked institutions and programs
- by removing any link between rankings and the sale of ad space within the group’s editorial media by using an independent legal officer prior to selling ad space
Composed of 11 members (2 Eduniversal executive members and 9 independent experts in global higher education), the International Scientific Committee has several missions:
- Select the top 1,000 Business Schools throughout the world and coordinate the Deans’ Vote used to attribute Academic Palms
- Perform subsequent verifications of the Eduniversal Ranking methodology
- Bring forward ideas to improve the methods employed
- Recommend changes to increase the relevance of criteria used
- Suggest developments that would be beneficial to the ranking methodology
Each member represents one of the nine zones covered by Eduniversal. The Scientific Committee meets twice a year.

While there are subtle differences between the methodologies of the different Eduniversal rankings, there are certain criterias that remain constant across all rankings.
With more of a focus on market conditions rather than strict academic criteria, our rankings assess the:
Reputation of
programsSalaries and professional
opportunities after graduatingSatisfaction rating
of participants
Various bonus points are added to these three criteria
For more information on our methodology and the specific features of each ranking:

01 - Eduniversal surveys
To determine its rankings, Eduniversal conducts an individual online survey.
Several stakeholders are involved:
-
Companies & university deans
For the criteria on the reputation of programs or the international profile of institutions
-
Higher education
institutionsFor criteria on salaries and professional opportunities
-
Students

02 - Data analysis
At the end of each Eduniversal survey, the results are carefully analyzed by our teams. The relevance of data provided by program participants is verified. People who have not participated in the programs but who but are well recognized take part in a parallel survey conducted by our consultants.
-
03 - Filing with an independent legal officer and publication
Once the calculations are completed and the ratings determined, the rankings are filed with an independent legal officer and can no longer be modified. The ranked programs are then rapidly informed of their status in the rankings.
The rankings may then be viewed on a dedicated website.
