EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Europe ranked based on their research performance in Oncology and Cancer research. A graph of 48.4M citations received by 1.39M academic papers made by 752 universities in Europe 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.
