The University of Foggia has entered the rankings of some of the major international ranking agencies, alongside the Italian Censis report which has certified its constantly growing trend on the national scene in recent years.
The rankings take into consideration a series of indicators, such as academic performance, programmes, and opinions of the scientific community, assigning a score which allows for comparative evaluations with other universities around the world.
The Censis Ranking of Italian Universities was created to provide guidance for the choices of all students ready to embark on university studies. It is a detailed analysis of the Italian university system (state and non-state universities, divided into homogeneous categories by size), based on the assessment of the facilities available, the services provided, the level of internationalisation, use of 2.0 communication and employability.

Education Around, the magazine specialised in education and universities in Italy, also includes the University of Foggia in the ranking of Italian universities. Two general rankings are built, only taking into consideration the public state universities which are members of the AlmaLaurea consortium: a general one and one linked to internationalisation, which is considered a key aspect when assessing a university. The latter ranking therefore considers the ‘raw data’ of the percentage of students - for each university - who spend a period of study abroad during their studies. Unifg ranks 36th in the general ranking, but, on the other hand, it ranks 1st among the three Apulian universities (Bari and Salento, excluding the Polytechnic) and 5th among small universities, again based on the Censis ranking.
Unifg ranks 39th in the international ranking and is among the top universities for Sports Sciences, Medicine (single-cycle degree programmes) and Agriculture (first-cycle degree programmes). An entire page is devoted to Unifg.
The Education Around ranking for 2021 has just been published. It includes 63 state universities and 56 subjects. The University of Foggia ranks 4th for second-cycle degree programmes in Educational Sciences; 9th for second-cycle degree programmes in Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences; and 16th for first-cycle degree programmes in Sports Sciences.
