The QS World University Ranking 2022 confirms the University of Bayreuth's impressive performance in the research-related "Nature Index" of the "Leading 150 Young Universities", which was last published in 2019. Here, it achieved 10th place worldwide in the environmental and earth sciences. The close linking of research and teaching on the campus of the University of Bayreuth plays a significant role in the fact that its environmental and geoscientific study programmes achieve excellent ratings in rankings - most recently in the 2021 CHE Ranking.
