Four parameters examined by the CWUR Ranking:
1) Education (based on the academic success of current and former students, measured against the size of the university)
2) Employability (based on the professional success of former students, measured against the size of the university)
3) Faculty (score calculated on the basis of the number of academics who have won important awards)
4) Research:
a) Research output (score calculated on the basis of the total number of research articles)
b) High-quality publications (score calculated on the basis of the number of research articles published in high-level journals)
c) Influence (score calculated on the basis of the number of research articles published in highly influential journals)
d) Citations (score calculated on the basis of the number of “highly-cited” research articles)
As mentioned, in the 2024 ranking the University of Parma reports excellent results, particularly in the “Faculty” item, where it is in 93rd place in the world: the best in Italy.
