Kherson State University entered the HE Higher Education Ranking.

On March 21, 2025, Kherson State University Kherson State University was included in the 2025 HE Higher Education Ranking, securing the 208th position out of a total of 422 participating universities.

This outstanding achievement reflects our institution's unwavering commitment to academic excellence and innovation.

The HE Higher Education Ranking is a tool that assesses the performance of higher education institutions based on a range of criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs), which take into account specific aspects of university operations.

The idea behind the necessity of introducing the HE Higher Education Ranking stemmed from the desire to create a new ranking system that incorporates a broad set of standards and KPIs related to higher education. These aspects had not been measured or utilized by any previous university ranking system. The newly established ranking is comprehensive and holistic, leading to the overall improvement of universities' operations, functions, and development.

When selecting KPIs, the ranking takes into account indicators used by UNESCO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations (UN) to measure the quality of higher education worldwide, access to sustainable education, and the achievement of fairness and equality in the learning process. Additionally, quality assurance and accreditation are key criteria. Therefore, the ranking includes KPIs related to the Educational Organizations Management System (EOMS), ISO 21001, and other standards.

Moreover, the ranking focuses on the development of universities' digital accessibility, the formulation of their future vision, and contributions toward achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also aims to enhance transparency and academic freedom within higher education institutions.

The ranking provides a comprehensive and accurate reflection of university activities. While it is based on scientific, academic, and research principles and is designed to elevate the academic level of higher education institutions, it also underscores the importance of maintaining universities' connections with society and supporting the cultural and social influence of higher education institutions.

Thus, one of the ranking's indicators is the linguistic impact of universities, emphasizing the necessity for institutions to provide information on their websites in more than one language.
