Humboldt University has trained 29 Nobel Prize winners. Why is it out of the 20th place in the world?
University ranking itself is unscientific. Because different ranking institutions have their own indicators, the score and proportion of each indicator are also artificial. On March 18, Su Baide, president of Yale University, said in an interview with China Youth Daily that "different universities rank almost the same. First, second, third and fourth don't mean any difference. Statisticians call it "pseudo-precision", that is, the ranking is not accurate enough to distinguish the differences between the top three. There are also differences among the top three, 49th and 50th places, so don't worry about the small details that affect the ranking.

Humboldt University has indeed trained 29 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, medicine, physics, literature and other fields, with remarkable achievements. However, its alumni won the Nobel Prize before the 1950 s, which may be one of the reasons for its current ranking. The knowledge and technology of science and engineering in Germany is indeed in the leading position in the world, and the proportion of science and engineering students studying in Germany accounts for 75% of the total. It can be seen that many students choose Germany in order to acquire more advanced knowledge and technology.

German universities are tuition-free non-profit schools, so they do not participate in the global school rankings, but this does not mean that the schools themselves are not good. Some ranking standards do not reflect the overall strength of the school. For example, the strength of scientific research institutions and universities is separated, and many Nobel Prize winners graduated from German universities separately, such as:

1。 Wolfgang kotler: Nobel Prize in Physics, University of Heidelberg.

2。 Owen Neil: technical university of munich, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

3。 Johannes Bedeneau: Nobel Prize in Physics, University of Mü nster.

4。 Ning Bin, Geld: The Nobel Prize in Physics of Frankfurt University.

5。 Walter William George Bott: The Nobel Prize in Physics from Humboldt University in Berlin.
