Balamand, 9 June, 2022: For the third consecutive year, the University of Balamand (UOB) succeeds in sustaining a remarkable status in the (QS 2023) World University Rankings. UOB maintained 2nd place amongst the eight ranked Lebanese universities, validating its distinguished academic status and exceptional educational level despite being the youngest amidst the eight most established Lebanese Universities.
It is worth noting that UOB ranked 1st in Lebanon when it came to the Faculty Student Ratio, and among the top 100 universities worldwide, due to its commitment and responsibility towards its students and professors, and the tireless work in providing the highest quality of education whilst focusing on a unique student experience.
The results have proven the university’s ability to uphold its leading position, in spite of the country’s prolonged social and economic depression.
