Among Western Asian universities (QS Western Asia 2026), BEU has advanced 11 positions compared to last year, ranking 23rd.

A total of 958 higher education institutions from Europe have been included in the new ranking. In the ranking table, 15 universities from our country have been included alongside BEU, with 6 of them being included for the first time. BEU ranks 5th nationwide.

This is a clear indicator of the sustainable development the university has achieved in teaching, scientific research, internationalization, reputation among employers, and graduate achievements over the past two years. Thus, BEU advanced 60 positions in the 2025 ranking table and 96 positions in 2026, demonstrating a significant overall rise of 156 positions in the QS Europe ranking over the past two years.
