I do not know how it's ranked, but it looks like a good place for graduate study judging from the faculty size and research output. It can be difficult to get a lot of meaning from rankings alone. Universities that are ranked low may have their own niches and ties to industry, labs, etc. that some higher ranked universities may not have. You should know what your goals are so you can pick a good university for yourself.
 
Thank you for your opinion.

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
