LUT University is among the world’s top 400 universities in the latest Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. LUT’s position is 351-400 among the 1527 universities listed. In the previous year, LUT was ranked in the top 501-600.
THE is one of the world’s most highly regarded university rankings. The areas it assesses are research, citations, teaching, international outlook, and industry income. The rankings are based on 13 indicators measuring the universities’ performance.
LUT performs particularly well in industry collaboration and research. Based on industry income and research performance, LUT was ranked within the world’s top 25 per cent.
“The global competition between universities is becoming more intense, as new universities, particularly from Asia, are improving their rankings. Despite this, we managed to improve our position significantly,” says Jari Hämäläinen, LUT’s Vice Rector for Research.
The 2021 ranking has been expanded from last year’s 1397 universities to include 1527. LUT ranks fifth among the nine Finnish universities in this year’s ranking.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable.
If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
