What trust does Chalmers have in Sweden? And how do we stand internationally? Rankings and reputation surveys are attempts to measure and compare universities, and important factors in both national and global competition. Some measurements are general, others assess subject areas or selected aspects of the business, all with different purposes and methods.

The diversity of evaluation in the university sector increases every year. Here we present a selection of Chalmers’ results in different rankings. The rankings list around 1000 universities (unless otherwise specified). Ranking results on this page was updated 5 June 2024:

Note: The QS World University Rankings is one of the oldest and most well-respected of rankings which measure universities’ overall performance. In large part, it relies on institutions’ reputations, as captured in surveys. It does not favour larger universities to the same extent as other general rankings do.
