Below is the list of best universities in Turkey ranked based on their research performance in Performing arts. A graph of 868 citations received by 316 academic papers made by 8 universities in Turkey was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.

Please note that our approach to topical rankings is based on scientific outputs and heavily biased on art-related topics towards institutions with computer science profiles.
