CHE-Ranking: Mathematics at Bielefeld University – One of Europe's leaders
The Faculty of Mathematics at Bielefeld University belongs to the "Excellence Group" of European mathematics departments according to the ExcellenceRanking published today by the CHE Centre for Higher Education Development in Gütersloh. The Faculty ranked particularly strongly in the number of publications, the number of citations, and in student mobility. A further important criterion was having an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course. According to CHE, this makes Bielefeld University one of the 130 European higher education institutes offering excellent departments and an international orientation to Masters and postgraduate students.
"The latest CHE Excellence Ranking once again cites the Faculty of Mathematics at Bielefeld University as one of the 55 top research locations in Europe. The research achievements at the Bielefeld Faculty are described as being particularly excellent in the field of publications and citations," Professor Dr. Michael Röckner, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics was pleased to see. "The Faculty views this ranking as clear support for it consistent promotion of research and young academics."
Rektor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Sagerer was also very pleased about the ranking, but was not particularly surprised. "Bielefeld has been one of the top addresses for mathematics in both Germany and the whole of Europe for many years. This year's ranking simply confirms the high productivity of the Faculty, and that, of course, also makes studying at our university particularly attractive."
