According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018, which was published yesterday, the School of Civil Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA, subject: Civil and Structural Engineering) maintains its position despite the dramatic drop in staff and budget over the last eight years. In particular, it remains at position 42, same as in 2017. Similarly, in terms of ranking among European Schools, the School is at position 11 (compared to 12 in 2017). The School has best performance in terms of the recognition of its research work (ranks 23 and 24 in the world for the "Citations per paper" and "H index" criteria, respectively). The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) and the University of Patras are also included in the Civil Engineering lists, at positions 101-150 and 151-200, respectively.
