Abstract
University rankings have been shared with the public for years as a very important criterion for both students who will make university preferences and academics. However, it is known that as the criteria in these rankings and the weights of these criteria change, the rankings will change very differently. This situation has been criticized for years and has been the subject of many publications. In this study, Times Higher Education (THE) ranking is taken into consideration and based on the view that the weights of the criteria used in the creation of this ranking are subjective, new criteria weights are created with the help of FUCOM, one of the multi-criteria decision making methods, and the results are interpreted.
