You may have heard: Utrecht University has not been included in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Ranking 2024. UU has chosen not to submit data. This is a conscious choice, which is further explained in this news item. The article also provides more in-depth information.

Everyone who asks question to a PhD candidate during a PhD Ceremony of UU is allowed to wear gowns. All members of an Assessment Committee are in an equal position during the ceremony. Rector Magnificus Henk Kummeling states that the decision emphasises equality.
