The University of Vienna ranks 14th in a THE ranking of the most international universities for 2026, improving its position by three places compared to the previous year.
The online magazine THE Student publishes this ranking based on data from the THE World University Rankings, in which the University of Vienna recently made a significant leap and is now, for the first time, the only Austrian university to feature in the global top 100.
The list of the most international universities is based on this data and takes into account four equally weighted indicators: the proportion of international staff, international students, international co-authorship in academic publications (2020–2024, subject-adjusted), and the proportion of international reputation based on votes from abroad in the Academic Reputation Survey.
