The assessment is for the undergraduate and postgraduate stages, where the first often depends on the quality of education and the second on the level of scientific research
These classifications are based on objective criteria that have made them a reference in which international universities compete to occupy a prominent position and are referred to as one of the most important international classifications of universities and higher education institutions. It is noted that American and British universities dominate the first positions in these classifications.
