In the 2027 World University Rankings published by the UK-based Quacquarelli Symonds, six Turkish universities were listed among the world’s top 500 universities. A total of 11 Turkish universities made it into the top 1000.
The Higher Education Council stated that the ranking is based on criteria such as academic reputation, employer reputation, scientific citations, international faculty and student ratios, international research networks, employment outcomes, and sustainability.

Among the Turkish universities in the top 500, Istanbul Technical University ranked 279th. It was followed by Middle East Technical University at 305th, Koç University at 329th, Boğaziçi University at 345th, Sabancı University at 357th, and Bilkent University at 454th place.
In the top 1000 list, Hacettepe University ranked 570th, Istanbul University 629th, and Yıldız Technical University 634th. Ankara University and Gebze Technical University were also included in this group.
Employer Reputation and Employment Indicators Stand Out
In the graduate reputation among employers indicator, three Turkish universities ranked among the world’s top 100. Middle East Technical University was 63rd, Istanbul Technical University 73rd, and Boğaziçi University 75th.
Boğaziçi University rose to 93rd place globally in the graduate employment success indicator.
Higher Education Council President Erol Özvar said the results demonstrate increasing international recognition of the quality of higher education in Turkey. Özvar noted that graduates of Turkish universities are in higher demand in both local and global job markets, linking this trend to quality policies, research capacity, and developments in university-industry collaboration.
The mid-year release of the rankings serves as an important reference for students and universities ahead of the new academic year.
