The paper is devoted to the analyses of evaluation of education in leading Ukrainian university rankings. The relevant indicators for evaluation of education in Shanghai Ranking, QS World University Rankings and THE World University Rankings were analyzed. We mentioned that the list of the best universities in area of education does not often coincide with the general list of the best universities. This difference could be explained by the fact of marginalization of substantial component of university mission, teaching, in leading international university rankings due to their concentration on evaluation of research activities. Also, the results of the leading university rankings are presented. The author claims, that in leading international university rankings (Shanghai Ranking, QS World University Rankings and THE World University Rankings) there is no special methodology for evaluation of such area as education. There is only adaptation of already existed methodology to specific features of this area.
