Finland is probably comparable to Sweden, though we don’t really have any transhumanist university programs that I’d be aware of, so that probably excludes us.
I think our universities suck, internationally speaking and compared to Sweden, don’t they? At least in the philosophy department they probably do.
Finland would be a huge leap upwards from Brazil, though.
The University of Helsinki generally hovers around the position of the 70th best university in the world in the Shanghai Ranking and the QS World University Rankings, and around the 100th position in the Times Higher Education Ranking. It’s the only Finnish university to make the top 100; of Swedish universities, Karolinska Institutet (Shanghai: 40-50, QS: -, Times: 36), Lund University (Shanghai: 90-100+, QS: ~70, Times: 123), Stockholm University (Shanghai: ~80, QS: -, Times: 103), and Uppsala University (Shanghai: ~70, QS: ~70, Times: 111) make the lists.
Only QS offers the option to filter universities specifically by their ranking in the field of philosophy: in the 2013 rankings, Stockholm University is the only Swedish university to make the top 200 list: it’s ranked as being in the 50-100 range. Out of Finnish universities, the University of Helsinki is tied with Stockholm University in the 50-100 position, and the University of Turku makes it to the 101-150 position.
Whether any of these ranking lists actually tells anything useful is another question, of course.
