Africa's best Environmental Chemistry universities [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in Africa ranked based on their research performance in Environmental Chemistry. A graph of 1.28M citations received by 81.2K academic papers made by 213 universities in Africa 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.
