Tbilisi State University (TSU) has advanced in the international Webometrics Ranking of World Universities while maintaining its status as the top university in Georgia and the Caucasus region.
In the initial Webometrics ranking – released earlier this year – the region’s oldest university was listed as 2006th place among the world’s 24,000 institutions of higher education.
However the first ranking did not take into account some of the data from the University’s schools, said the TSU media relations department.
The updated ranking has now been reflected on the University’s position on the list, moving it up to 830th place globally and 349th place among European education centres, up from its initial 714th ranking.
The updated data saw the University also maintain its number one status in Georgia and the region.
Sixty-three other Georgian universities were also ranked on the updated list.
TSU, established in 1918, provides higher education for more than 20,000 local and international students and offers a wide variety of degree programs at Under-Graduate, Graduate and Doctoral levels, as well as short courses offered in English to attract students from all over the world.
The Webometrics ranking system – run by Cybernetics Lab department at Spanish National Research Council – calculated the ranking by taking into account the number of online referrals from services such as Google, Yahoo, Live Search and Exalead as well as universities’ website page numbers, scientific articles uploaded to their online services and other data.
Results of the National Exams for higher education were released today by Georgia’s National Assessment and Examination Centre (NAEC).
This week Georgia is celebrating the foundation day of Tbilisi State University – the oldest university in the Caucasus region.
