TUM at the top of the table

Technische Universität München (TUM) achieved eighth place in the ranking table, cementing its excellent reputation as an educational institute for young academics who are much sought after in international job markets. The ranking is based on a survey of almost 5,000 HR managers and employers from industry and commerce in 20 different countries. The most recent results have been published in <i>The New York Times </i>and <i>The Telegraph</i>.

Cambridge (GB), Harvard (US) and Yale (US) take the top three spots, followed by Oxford (GB), CalTech (US), MIT (US), Stanford (US), TUM (D), Princeton (US) and Tokyo (JP). Last year, TUM came in eleventh place in the ranking.
