Tampere University placed 34th in the recently announced Times Higher Education Young University Rankings for 2022. The University was up by three places on last year as the ranking listed universities that have been in operation for less than 50 years.

The Times Higher Education (THE) Young University 2022 ranking compares young universities that are 50 years old or younger from around the world. The new Tampere University, which was created by the merger of the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology at the beginning of 2019, was featured in the ranking for the third time.

This time, Tampere University was ranked in the 34th place among the 539 young universities that were ranked globally. Last year, Tampere University came 37th. Of Finnish universities, Aalto University was ranked in the 30th and the University of Vaasa in the 70th place.

PSL Research University Paris claimed the top spot in THE Young University 2022 ranking.

The league table is based on the same 13 performance indicators as the flagship THE World University Rankings, but the weightings have been adjusted to give less weight to reputation.
