University of Tunis Achieves Top Rankings
According to the 2026 regional ranking by the prestigious QS Quacquarelli Symonds organization, the University of Tunis holds the first national position, first in the Maghreb region, and ranks 41st in the Arab world among approximately 300 evaluated institutions.
A Reflection of Concerted Efforts
This success is not just a numbers game. It reflects and rewards a set of concerted efforts: the university is ranked among the top 10 in several major indicators, including the strength of international research networks, the quality of the teaching staff and academic supervision. This is a strong signal sent at the local, regional, and international levels.
A Beacon of Excellence
The University of Tunis's reputation is thus highlighted: it presents itself as a "flagship" of Tunisian public universities, but also as a credible academic actor in the entire Arab region. The announcement of this ranking was accompanied by a message from the institution: it extends its "warmest congratulations" to teacher-researchers, administrative staff, students - in short, to all those who contribute to this national and international reputation.
Behind the Scenes
However, behind the glory, there is hard work: to achieve such indicators, the university had to strengthen its research links, promote international mobility, improve the quality of teaching, multiply publications, and densify collaborations. These efforts - whose translation is measured in this ranking - are a bet on the future: not only for the University of Tunis but for the entire Tunisian higher education system.
A Dual Challenge
For the University of Tunis, the challenge is now twofold: to consolidate this position and translate this symbolic success into concrete benefits - increased attractiveness for foreign students, international partnerships, research funding, innovation - so that this recognition does not remain just a trophy but becomes a lever.
