EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in China ranked based on their research performance in Astrophysics and Astronomy. A graph of 8.31M citations received by 700K academic papers made by 508 universities in China 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.
