Rankings: a restricted perspective
Are you using rankings in the process of choosing your study programme? They can definitely be useful, however, it is important to keep in mind that no ranking is completely objective and comprehensive. While some rankings measure multiple aspects, some of them only measure a single indicator. Also, rankings present a global image, while the diversity amongst the Dutch universities is what defines their qualities. Furthermore, rankings tend to change their methodology, which makes comparing the results of multiple years a bit difficult.
