3/32www.qs.com QS World University Rankings 2014 3

Behind these 30 tables are 90,000 survey

responses, 27m paper attr ibutions and almost

11,000 manually verified programs. But the

greatest thing about the subject tables is that

for almost every university involved there is

positive news to reinforce any setbacks, and the

results prove that strength by subject is not only

concentrated among the top universities in our

overall tables.

UC Davis takes the crown for agriculture for a

second year running, NYU leads in philosophy,

University of Wisconsin-Madison in communi-

cation and Londons Institute of Education tops

out the education field in 2014. A total of 65

universities make the top 10 in at least one of

these subjects, 248 the top 50, 419 the top 100

and fully 689 fall with the collective top 200.

This is a ser ious undertaking and involves a

great deal of time, effort and personnel, but the

results are fascinating and we hope of genuine

assistance to students around the world hoping

to make more informed choices. After all, for

most, before considering where in the world

they might study, they start with figuring out

what subject they plan to pursue. In many ways

then, these subject tables make sense as the start

of the search.

Choosing a university remains one of the single

most influential decisions in a young persons

life, and getting it r ight can make the differ-

ence between four years of inspiration and fun

or four years of frustration and loneliness; the

difference between a career that is fulfilling and

challenging to one which is soul-destroying,

or worse, no career at all. Down the right path

lies fortune, fulfilment, rich memories, lifelong

friends and for the many who may have beenas fortunate as me, love and family.

QS believes there is no substitute for first-hand

experience, for campus visits or for face-to-face

meeting with people from a university, but you

cant visit every university in the world. These

subject tables should form a key part of a suite

of tools used to shortlist suitable options, and

for institutions they ought to provide a way to

highlight their key strengths and give a much

larger number of institutions a key piece of

independent evidence to pass on to students to

stake their claim to being the right choice.

Ben Sowter,head of QS Intelligence Unit

The American journalist Harry Allen Smith once wrote,

The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his

passion for lists. In few contexts does this statement seem

more pertinent than when referring to university rank-ings, and in no other context is a set of university ranking

lists to be found with greater scale and scope than the QS

World University Rankings by Subject.

QS World University Rankingsby Subject - Methodology

Since 2011 the QS WorldUniversity Rankings

have been extended to

encompass a range of

popular individual subjects.

The majority of prospective international

students begin their search knowing what

they want to study before considering where,

so understanding the comparative quality of

institution by subject is fundamental to the QS

mission to support students in their decision-

making. QS aims to add more depth, more

detail and more subjects to this work year by

year and anticipates that these tables will, in

time, become more important than the overallrankings.

QS has access to three extensive datasets that

enable us to drill down by subject area: our

academic and employer reputation surveys,

and the Scopus data we use for our citations

per faculty indicator in the overall rankings.

These three components have been combined

to produce our subject results, with weightings

adapted by discipline.

1. Academic Reputation

Academic reputation has been the centrepiece

of the QS World University Rankings since

their inception in 2004. In 2014 we drew on

over 62,000 respondents to compile our results.

Having provided their name, contact details,

job title and the institution where they are

based, respondents identify the countries, re-

gions and faculty areas that they have most fa-

miliarity with, and up to two narrower subject

disciplines in which they consider themselves

expert. For each of the (up to five) faculty areas

they identify, respondents are asked to list up to

ten domestic and thirty international institu-

tions that they consider excellent for research

in the given area. They are not able to selecttheir own institution.

The results of the academic reputation com-

ponent of the new subject rankings have been

produced by filtering responses according

to the narrow area of expertise identified by

respondents. While academics can select up to

two narrow areas of expertise, greater emphasis

is placed on respondents who have identified

with only one.

2. Employer reputation

QS World University Rankings are unique in

incorporating employability as a key factor in

the evaluation of international universities, and

in 2014 we drew on over 27,000 responses to

compile the results for the overall rankings. The

employer survey works on a similar basis to the

academic one, only without the channelling

for different faculty areas. Employers are asked

to identify up to ten domestic and thirty in-

ternational institutions they consider excellent

for the recruitment of graduates. They are also

asked to identify from which disciplines theyprefer to recruit. From examining where these

two questions intersect we can infer a measure

of excellence in a given discipline.

3. Citations per paper

Due to the impracticality of reliably gathering

faculty numbers broken down by discipline, for

the purposes of this exercise we have meas-

ured citations per paper rather than per facultymember. A minimum publication threshold

has been set for each subject to avoid potential

anomalies stemming from small numbers of

highly cited papers. Both the minimum publi-

cations threshold and the weighting applied to

the citations indicator are adapted in order to

best reflect prevalent publication and citation

patterns in a given discipline. All citations data

is sourced from Scopus, the worlds most com-

prehensive research citations database.

As of 2013, a score based on h-index has beenadded to the QS World University Rankings

by Subject. The h-index is a way of measur-

ing both the productivity and impact of the

published work of a scientist or scholar. The

index is based on the set of the scientists most

cited papers and the number of citations that

they have received in other publications. The

index can also be applied to the productivity

and impact of a group of scientists, such as a

department or university or country, as well as

a scholarly journal. The index was suggested by

Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD, as a tool

for determining theoretical physicists relative

quality and is sometimes called the Hirsch

index or Hirsch number.

QS World University Rankingsby Subject - Overview

This years QS World Uni-versity Rankings by Sub-

ject underline the status of

Cambridge, Massachusetts

as the nerve center of globalacademic research. Yet they

also point to world-leading

departments at a surprising-

ly diverse range of institu-tions, extending far beyond

the big names that tend to

dominate overall university

rankings.Home to Harvard and MIT, Cambridge was

originally named in honor of the UKs Univer-

sity of Cambridge, but this years results suggest

that it has long-since overtaken its namesake

when it comes to hosting world-class facul-

ties at individual subject level. Between them,

Harvard and MIT account for 20 of the 30

number one spots. Harvard maintains a slender

lead over its neighbor, with 11 top spots to

MITs nine.

Harvards dominance is particularly pro-

nounced in the life sciences, in which it tops

four of the five subjects: medicine, psychology,

pharmacy, and biological sciences. Harvard is

also the pre-eminent institution in the field of

social sciences and management, ranking first

in five of the eight subjects: sociology, politics,

law, economics and accounting.

In the natural sciences, Harvard tops the rank-

ings for mathematics and earth and marine sci-

ences. Perhaps surprisingly, the only discipline

area in which it fails to take a single numberone ranking is the arts and humanities, though

it does make the top five in all but one of the

six disciplines.

While Harvard rules the life and social sciences,

local rival MIT is the undisputed global pow-

erhouse in engineering and technology, record-

ing a clean sweep of the top spots in four areas

of engineering (civil, mechanical, chemical and

electrical) plus computer sciences.

Other subjects in which MIT emerges as the

world leader include statistics, three of the core

science disciplines (physics, materials science

and chemistry), plus linguistics a discipline

in which MIT has led the way, most famously

through the work of Noam Chomsky, one of

the most frequently cited humanities scholars

of all time.

The dominance of the Cambridge, Massachu-

setts institutions is almost total in the STEMdisciplines, in which between them they take a

remarkable 14 of the 16 top spots. Yet else-

where the field is surprisingly diverse. Indeed,

University of Oxford is the only other institu-

tion to top the table in more than one disci-

pline, ranking number one globally in English

language and literature, geography and modern

languages, all areas of traditional strength.

Big names under threat?

Since their introduction in 2011, QS World

University Rankings by Subject have been

honed to more accurately discriminate be-

tween strength in a particular discipline area

and the inflating effect of overall institutional

prestige. This is reflected in the disciplines that

fall outside of the sphere of Harvard-MIT

dominance, in which eight different institutions

feature at the top of ten different tables.

Of these eight institutions, three are placed in

the top ten in the overall QS World University

Rankings. Oxford takes three top spots, Cam-

bridge is number one in history, and StanfordUniversity tops the table for statistics. Institu-

tions from outside of the global top 20 take the

number one spots in all five of the remaining

tables.

Berkeley maintains its top spot for environ-

mental sciences, while its fellow University of

California branch UC Davis ranks number one

in agr iculture. Another of the big US public

institutions, University of Wisconsin-Madison

leads the way on communications and mediastudies.

New York Universitys reputation as a world

leader in philosophy is well established within

the field, and it tops this years table ahead of

Oxford, the University of Pittsburgh and Rut-

gers. And the UKs Institute of Education takes

its place at the top of the ranking for education,

ahead of Australias University of Melbourne.

The rankings also point to numerous world-

class faculties in Asia-Pacific and Continental

Europe, regions that have traditionally been

eclipsed by the US and UK in overall rankings.

The dominance

of the Cambridge,

Massachusetts

institutions is

almost total in the

STEM disciplines,in which between

them they take a

remarkable 14 of

the 16 top spots.


7/32

The most successful universities outside of the

US and UK in terms of number top-ten rank-

ings are:

National University of Singapore (8)

ETH Zurich (4) University of Melbourne (4)

University of Tokyo (4)

Nanyang Technological University (3)

Kyoto University (2)

Wageningen University (2)

Other universities to make the global top ten

in a single discipline include Chinas Tsinghua

University (materials science), Hong Kong

University (civil engineering) and Swedens

Karolinska Institute (pharmacy).

A further five Australian institutions make

the top ten in one subject (ANU, Monash,

University of Sydney, University of Queensland

and University of New South Wales), as do two

from the Netherlands (University of Amster-

dam and Delft University of Technology).

Latin Americas top-ranking institution is Mex-

icos UNAM (25th in history), while Africas

top institution University of Cape Town, makes

the top 50 in education (32nd), geography

(34th), law (40th) and English language and

literature (50th).

This geographical diversity shows that world-

leading work is taking place at an individual

discipline level at a far greater range of institu-

tions than overall rankings would have us

believe.
