U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Our teaching methodology is based on theoretical explanations followed by problem resolutions. Since 1st year students start to contact real life problems, as the practical exercises are applied to specific projects. Subjects like mechanics, strength of materials and theory of structures use real projects as means of teaching and evaluating design from its early stages. In constructions, the courses of buildings, I, II and II study a construction in all its stages from building walls to design proper energy efficient buildings.
