Choosing a university from a vast range of choices is a major decision in every student’s life. There are various amounts of university ranking systems that mostly use academic indicators such as number of citations, number of publications and doctorate students in their ranking model, but other indicators such as socio-cultural and physical structure of the university also factor into their decision, especially when choosing between universities of the same league. In this paper, the multi-criteria decision-making methods, AHP and PROMETHEE are used together to rank universities according to personalized criteria weighted by students individually and compared with a ranking that only uses academic indicators. This paper also proposes a wiki-type web platform for students to be able to choose the criteria they see fit to evaluate universities and give each criterion their own weights which in turn will help them make a more informed decision. The proposed system will additionally gather data from students regarding the criteria they seek when choosing a university for their higher education, thus giving universities insight on student evaluations.
