Calculation methodology of StudyCHECK

All evaluations published on StudyCHECK in the last 3 years are included in the calculation of the most popular universities. The total number of points is determined by 3 values: the star rating of the institute, the recommendation rate and the number of published reports.

For each of these calculation factors, a university can achieve a maximum of 5 points and thus receive a maximum of 15 points in the ranking. For example, if an institution has an overall rating of 4.5 stars, this corresponds to a score of 4.5. We proceed similarly with the recommendation rate. A recommendation rate of 80% corresponds to 4.0 points.

The points awarded for the number of testimonials submitted are based on a fixed target value. To receive the full 5 points, an institution needs at least 1500 published reviews. Below that, points are awarded on a pro-rata basis. For example, a university with 750 testimonials will receive 2.5 points.

Graduates and students can rate their degree programmes according to different criteria and pass on individual experiences during their studies with a field report. The following areas can be evaluated:

Study content, lecturers, courses, facilities, campus life, organisation (obligatory up to here) as well as library and refectory (the last two not obligatory).
