THE RANKING OF TURKISH UNIVERSITIES WITH COCOSO AND MARCOS

Abstract

The ranking of universities according to their academic performance is important for both the reputation of the university and the region and country where the university is located. Additionally, universities can have the opportunity to observe their weaknesses and strengths through these rankings and draw a roadmap to improve their performance. Some organizations evaluate the performance of universities. URAP is one of the organizations assessing the performance of universities according to various criteria. The aim of this study is to rank Turkish universities according to their performances based on the 2019-year report published by URAP assessing the performance of 166 universities according to 5 criteria. For this evaluation, CoCoSo and MARCOS methods, which are newly introduced to literature, are used in this study.

Keywords

• CoCoSo
• MARCOS
• Ranking of Universities
