While choosing a university, applicants, parents and teachers and employers themselves often check the information about the university's ranking. High university rankings become an indicator of reliability and success of educational institutions.

But most importantly, it is one of the mechanisms to improve the quality of education, because the rankings serve as a tool for universities to measure the quality of educational products and services provided by universities and thus stimulate universities to continuous improvement, to increase the level of transparency of processes, to promote competition and to invest more effort in the quality of teaching, in the development of research, science, innovation and social impact.
