Aalto maintains strong position in prestigious ShanghaiRankings
Aalto University has once again seen excellent performance in the one of the world’s most respected university rankings, the ShanghaiRanking Global Ranking of Academic Subjects.
Aalto’s top ranking field according to the 2018 results is Telecommunication Engineering, which placed 28th in the world. Two fields from the Aalto School of Business saw the biggest gains this year: Business Administration jumped up to 34th place from last year’s range of 51-75 and Management moved from 49th position to 36th.
