Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Africa ranked based on their research performance in Environmental Science. A graph of 13.3M citations received by 1.08M academic papers made by 361 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.
