Bratislava, 23 November (TASR) - Comenius University in Bratislava has been placed in two international university rankings, TASR has been told by university spokeswoman Eva Kopecka. In the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) for 2025, the university achieved excellent rankings in two subjects. It also ranked 824th in the QS World University Rankings Sustainability 2026, improving its position by more than a hundred places. The best subject for Comenius University in the Shanghai ranking was physics, in which it improved by 100 places when compared to the previous evaluation and was included between 301st and 400th place. The second subject was psychology, in which Comenius was ranked between 401st and 500th places. Four other Slovak universities were included in this ranking: the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, the Technical University in Zvolen (Banska Bystrica region), and the Technical University in Kosice. "The Shanghai Ranking subjects edition evaluates universities in 57 fields. The methodology includes nine indicators in categories such as teaching excellence, research excellence and impact, and international collaboration," said Kopecka. In addition, Comenius University improved its position in the QS World University Rankings Sustainability 2026. This ranking evaluates universities in terms of their social and environmental impact and takes into account not only sustainability commitments, but also practical results such as the contribution made by graduates towards addressing climate challenges and research focused on the UN's sustainable development goals. Two other Slovak universities also made it into this ranking, albeit lower down - the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and the University of Zilina, added the spokeswoman. am/df/ko
