NKUA, climbing the ladder in the US News' Best Global Universities Rankings NKUA, climbing the ladder in the US News' Best Global Universities Rankings =========================================================================== 5 septembrie 2024 Great news for the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens! In its [2024-2025 top](https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/greece), the US News & World Report Media Company placed the Greek university 215th out of 2,250 universities from 104 countries. NKUA has climbed 35 places from last year, to **the highest place ever achieved by a Greek Higher Educational Institution** in all the editions of the US News Best Global Universities Rankings. ![](/storage/files/nkua-us-news-ranking-1010x569.jpg) UoA © 2024 At the same time, NKUA ranked 1st among the 12 Greek Universities taken into consideration, followed by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens. On European level, NKUA ranked 81st among the 715 European Universities in the table. Significant distinctions in 25 domains -------------------------------------- This year, NKUA placed high globally in 25 domains, three more than in 2024. For *Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems*, *Gastroenterology & Hepatology*, and *Infectious Diseases*, the university entered the top 100 worldwide. > *This distinction undoubtedly confirms the international recognition and acclaim of our University, and the value, quality and high impact of its academic and research work. It is our Institution’s academic staff who - sometimes under adverse conditions - achieve all these extraordinary distinctions. We will continue our efforts towards internationalization, extroversion, and high quality to ensure that NKUA remains always at the top",* said the Rector of NKUA, Professor of Cardiology Gerasimos Siasos. *Best Global Universities,* in its 10th edition, has dominated University rankings in the US for years and is currently in the top 7 of rankings internationally. It provides insight into how universities compare globally, since an increasing number of students enroll in universities outside of their home countries. The rankings focus exclusively on institutions' overall academic research and reputations and not on their separate undergraduate or graduate programs. **See all the domains in which NKUA achivied distinctions in the [original, Greek, story](https://hub.uoa.gr/nkua-in-the-highest-position-ever-achieved-by-a-greek-university-in-us-news-best-global-university-rankings-2024-2025/).** ### Read also: [*The site of Sibhudu, where the University of Tübingen has been researching the cultural evolution of humans for over a decade, declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/archaelogical-site-researched-ut-world-heritage-unesco) *[EAIE24: Strong presence of CIVIS at top higher education event](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/strong-presence-for-civis-at-the-most-important-he-event-eaie24)* *[New BrIAS' call for fellowships is open to exemplary researchers and academics from the CIVIS Alliance](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/brias-brussels-institute-for-advanced-studies-is-looking-for-exemplary-researchers-from-civis-to-join-the-institute-as-fellows-for-the-new-academic-year)* *[Academic staff members of CIVIS universities, called to develop new collaboration and create new educational activities](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/academic-staff-members-of-civis-universities-called-to-develop-new-collaboration-and-create-new-educational-activities)* *[CIVIS encourages innovative research with the implementation of 25 new joint programmes!](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/civis-encourages-innovative-research-and-longer-term-collaborations-between-civis-member-institutions-in-europe-and-strategic-partner-universities-in-africa-with-the-implementation-of-17-new-programmes)* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nat4dd-team-800x600.jpg?token=19580f3566e7e590a42ea7ae6661cd46)NAT4DD, noul program comun de masterat al CIVIS, obține acreditarea „European Approach” Study programmes 5 octombrie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/nat4dd-joint-master-s-programme-earns-aqas-accreditation-marking-a-milestone-for-civis-joint-education) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)Studenții CIVIS aduc muzica în lumea pacienților cu demență și a îngrijitorilor acestora Connect 22 aprilie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nkua-cyprus_1-800x600.jpg?token=5a0c4f07a9c8c7ea5f80e2d0b2228df3)NKUA marks historic milestone with the official launch of its Cyprus Branch CIVIS Highlights 24 martie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/nkua-marks-historic-milestone-with-the-official-launch-of-its-cyprus-branch) [ Descoperiți toate articolele noastre ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ The EAIE Conference 2024: Pioneering Journey to Transform Higher Education ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/the-eaie-conference-2024-pioneering-journey-to-transform-higher-education%20) [ CIVIS Open Labs launch the webinar series CIVIS Connect ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis-open-labs-launch-the-webinar-series-civis-connect%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
