CWUR (Center for World University Rankings)

The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) has regularly ranked Palacký University among the best universities in the world since 2014, when more than 100 universities were included in the ranking for the first time. In the first ranking in 2014, the University of Olomouc was ranked 804th and has not fallen below that position since. On the contrary, it has remained in the Top 600. This is also the case in this year's edition of CWUR 2023, in which it was ranked 591st among more than 20,000 ranked universities, and thus remains among the 2.9% of the best universities in the world and among the TOP 3 Czech universities. In the research ranking, it achieved 42 positions better.

The Centre for World University Rankings has adapted the methodology for 2019–2020 to place the same emphasis on the educational environment and research and now evaluates universities on the basis of four metrics: Quality of education (25%), employment of graduates (25%), quality of staff (10%), and research performance (40%). This includes research (10%), high quality publications (10%), number of research works in influential journals (10%) and citation (10%) The assesment is based primarily on Thomson Reuters database and tracks data up to a decade back. It works only with available data, not including the university's reputation, which forms a substantial part of other prestigious rankings. CWUR has been publishing the ranking of 1000 most influential universities since 2014 and this year evaluated 2000 universities.
