Applicant for the second consecutive year in the Times Higher Education’s international Impact Rankings, dedicated to CSR, Excelia has made a strong debut, being featured in the Top 300 international institutions that demonstrate excellence in CSR, out of the 1,963 ranked.
The Impact Rankings assess higher education institutions against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using strict methodology, inclusion in the overall rankings is determined by a certain commitment to these SDGs.
