Ranking of nostrifying universities

Universities compared on open criteria: scientific category, fee, information for applicants and range of professions.

The ranking compares universities only on facts anyone can check: the scientific category from the ministry’s evaluation, the nostrification fee, the information published for applicants and the number of professions the university nostrifies. Choose a profession to see the ranking for it alone.

How the ranking is calculated

  1. 30% Scientific category. Category from the 2022–2025 national evaluation in the discipline of the diploma: medical sciences for doctors and dentists, health sciences for nurses, midwives and physiotherapists, pharmaceutical sciences for pharmacists, veterinary science for vets. A+ 100, A 85, B+ 70, B 40, C 0 points; in the ranking of all professions the best of these categories counts. The law allows only universities with A+, A or B+ in the discipline to nostrify. The categories are planned (list of the minister of 22 July 2026) and may still change after reconsideration.
  2. 25% Nostrification fee. The cheapest published fee gets 100 points, others proportionally less (lowest fee ÷ fee × 100).
  3. 30% Published information. 20 points for each of: procedure described online, list of documents, fee, named contact office, information in English. Counted only for universities whose nostrification pages we have reviewed.
  4. 15% Range of professions. Number of medical professions the university nostrifies, relative to the university with the most (× 100).

The score is the weighted average of the criteria a university has data for. A university missing data for more than one criterion is not ranked. The ranking compares only published, verifiable facts about the nostrification procedure; it does not rate teaching quality or the outcome of any individual case.
