“…In their questionnaire, 52 students had a combination of quality teachers as a strength and the range of subjects as a weakness. The second highest number was in the combination of interesting lectures and a weaker offer of subjects (26) and the third in the case of quality teachers and lengthy processing through the study department (22 students). For female students, the following combinations of strengths and weaknesses are most common: quality teachers + offer of courses (23), interesting lectures + offer of courses (20), quality teachers + lengthy processing through the study department (13), interesting lectures + lengthy processing through the study department (13).…”

“…Involvement in rankings is changing and, in some respects, improves the performance of universities. 25,26 Similarly, Avralev and Efimova note that global rankings are employed to reconstruct higher education and contribute to an increase in the competitiveness of Russian universities on the world stage. 27 One of the many uses of the ranking system can be seen in providing information helpful for making university selection decisions.…”

The number of students at Czech universities had been growing continuously until 2010. In 2010, almost 400,000 students studied there. Since then, this number has declined every year. Pressure on present-day universities has been accruing due to the competitive environment. The only way to strengthen competitiveness is to improve constantly the quality and image. The objective of this paper is to verify what factors are important for students regarding their satisfaction and what factors could be key for supporting the competitiveness of the Czech universities. To assess student satisfaction, the authors conducted a questionnaire survey where students were asked to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the faculty. The survey was carried out within the Faculty of Business and Economics of Mendel University in Brno (FBE MENDELU) and a selected private university in Brno in 2019. Relative frequencies were used in data processing and statistical hypotheses were tested. In addition to the basic classification according to one feature, a combination classification was also processed, and the independence was tested for different combinations of questions. Of the total number (1,020) of identified strengths at FBE MENDELU, 57.7% of students stated, “quality teachers”, 32.4% “faculty image” and 31.8% “modern environment” as strengths. Regarding the identified weaknesses, the most frequently mentioned were “study difficulty (42.4%),” weaker image of the university with the public “(31.5%) and not enough practical training (23.2%). At the private college, 47.8% of respondents cited “quality teachers”, “interesting lectures and teaching methods” (40.8%) and “study materials for subjects” (29.4%) as the school’s strengths.

“…While Indian higher education has expanded tremendously in terms of enrolment, some areas like deficiency in quality faculty, absence of new curriculum that benchmarked with global standards, lack of international perspectives, gaps between the skills being imparted to students and skills needed at the workplace still need serious attention (Gupta and Gupta 2012). Performances of Indian institutes in world university rankings are not satisfactory (Jalote 2019). The country has failed to produce a decent number of world-class universities.…”

The article discusses the university academic reputation as an indicator of its leadership in the global education services market. In the international rating systems for assessing the universities, academic reputation is one of the main indicators of status and prestige. Most higher education experts who look at the state of modern universities recognize that this factor is a key to attract the attention of the world academic community, industrial stakeholders, investors, prospective students and their parents to the university. We analyze the factors that improve university academic reputation using sources of empirical data such as QS World University Rankings database for 2017–2019 (open data analysis method), as well as the sociological research results including the opinions of experts (n = 5) (semi-structured interviews were selected as an appropriate method of data collection). The study results showed that China’s universities occupy a leading position. The key conclusion of the study is that the high academic reputation is one of the basic indicators of a university’s position in the global educational services market, but for leading universities it is a stigma reducing the need for innovation and the educational process development. BRICS Universities that create or change strategic development programme should be oriented towards achieving the leadership positions by not only institutional rankings but also subject and broad subject area rankings. This is a good indicator of the academic reputation growth for university, and it can be considered as a qualitative result of its goals and efficiency achieving in general.
