The University of Gdańsk has been ranked in the prestigious Shanghai Domain Ranking - our university ranked between 151-200 in the discipline of Oceanography.
The GRAS ranking is a set of thematic lists created by the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, the organisation responsible for the so-called Shanghai Ranking (Academic Ranking of World Universities - ARWU). The summaries are created for individual academic disciplines.
In 2024, more than 1,900 universities from 96 countries around the world are ranked in the GRAS subject ranking. The assessment for this summary takes into account universities that have a certain number of publications in each discipline between 2019 and 2023. The publication threshold is set separately for each discipline and bibliometric data is taken from the Web of Science and InCites databases.

The Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) assesses universities in 55 disciplines within five areas: life sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences and social sciences. It takes into account five weighted core indicators:
- World-Class Faculty - World-Class Team
- World-Class Output
- High-Quality Research
- Research Impact
- International Collaboration
The University of Gdańsk scored highest on the World-Class Faculty (32.4 points) and Research Impact (28.4 points) indicators.
We found ourselves in the company of three SEA-EU alliance partners: the University of West Brittany (ranked high, 12th), the University of Kiel (also ranked high, 20th) and the University of Cádiz (which, like UG, ranked between 151 and 200).
