The University of Ljubljana Ranks 69th in the World on the Times’ Legal Studies Ranking

There are a large number of different institutions in the world that carry out the comparison of universities and, within these classifications, also the clas- sification by fields of study. Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Times Higher Ed- ucation (THE) and the Shanghai Ranking (the Academic Ranking of World Universities; ARWU) are generally listed as the three most recognised and reputable ranking systems. High ranking is very important for universities. Especially for those who offer paid programmes and compete with each other for students. It is no surprise, then, that American and English universities mostly top all of the charts. The high ranking is a sign of excellence and quality, which universities emphasise and constantly strive to improve, thus attract- ing domestic and international students. According to the Times’ legal studies ranking in 2022, the University of Ljubljana ranks 69th in the world. A ranking that is more than excellent.
