Rankings, without a shadow of doubt, are a significant part of the tertiary education landscape, and do have a value for students as a reference for comparison, so they can select the most fitting guide to the universities that suit their priorities. From our perspective, understanding where we are in each ranking and how we can improve is vital not only to the MUI administration but also to the view of our prospective students. Success in the THE (Times Higher Education) World University Rankings, for us, is about how we are able to become as good as we really can be.
According to the results of THE Impact Rankings 2020 announced on April 22, Medical University of Isfahan has achieved the best positions in its history. Among the one thousand evaluated universities, MUI placed between the 401st and 600th and ranked 101-200th in section related to the goal of Good Health and Wellbeing.
THE World University Rankings is one of the most prestigious international rankings in which the MUI is included in different subjects of Times Higher Education World University Rankings, based on the report released by its official website.
