The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music has made significant progress in the QS rankings by subject: with its 22nd place in the performing arts category, it is the world’s highest-ranked Hungarian university.
The latest edition of one of the best-known higher education rankings, the UK's Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject 2024, compares almost 1,600 universities worldwide in 55 individual subjects across five broad subject areas.
The Liszt Academy of Music has made a huge leap forward in the long-established Performing Arts category. From last year's place in the 51-100 range, it has now come 22nd, making it the best of all Hungary’s universities: no other Hungarian university has done so well in its own field of study.
