Division by subject - better success for Israelis

In the list of scientific-mathematical universities, the Technion and the Hebrew University can be found in places 51-75 and Tel Aviv University in places 76-100; In the list of engineering universities, as we reported yesterday, the Technion is in 38th place and Tel Aviv University in the group of places 76-100.

In medicine and pharmacy, not a single Israeli university was among the first hundred ranked.
When divided into narrower fields, Israeli success is higher, for example in the field of computer science, five Israeli universities are among the top 12: the Weizmann Institute (15), the Technion (21), the Hebrew University (31), Tel Aviv University (76) and Bar Ilan (100- XNUMX).
In mathematics we find the Tel Aviv University (26) as well as the Technion and the Hebrew University (51-75).

  1. I know, and that's exactly what I'm talking about. I have no idea what the level of teaching in Hebrew is, but in terms of this research, it is known that in mathematics the Hebrew University is the leader in Israel.

  2. If I understand correctly, there is not necessarily a connection between the ranking and the level of study at the university. The ranking refers to the research level of the lecturers. A lecturer or faculty member can be a genius and publish many articles but does not know or does not want to teach at a high level.

  3. In mathematics, is Tel Aviv University ranked higher than Hebrew? Doesn't make sense to me. And I study in Tel Aviv.
