The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022 covers a total of 51 subject areas, grouped into five disciplines. The rankings are released by QS to help the public identify leading universities in specific subject areas and/or disciplines.
The ranking of world universities based on the field of study is determined based on an assessment of five indicators, namely academic reputation, the results of a global survey conducted on graduate users and academics, the number of research citations achieved by the university per paper in the subject (all citation data are sourced from Elsevier Scopus), the ‘H-index’ which measures the productivity and impact of published academic research, and the International Research Network which reflects the institution’s ability to diversify the geography of their international research network by building sustainable research partnerships with other higher education institutions.
