5 QS World University Rankings by Subject: Rising Stars Latin America s rising star in these rankings is Colombia. Though still lacking the profile of its continental neighbours Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, it provides 39 subjects this year, up from 26 in This improved performance is driven by its leading university, the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, which sees 16 subjects place this year, up from 10 in One also notes Colombia move closer to Argentina; where the discrepancy in number of subjects placed was 9 in 2015, it is now only 1; the gap between it and Chile also decreases by 6. This year 945 universities from 60 countries feature in our rankings. Though many nations see the number of universities and subjects increase due to the expansion this year, some also see their share of places increase. China is one such major winner. Featuring 402 subjects ranked in this year s rankings, it increases its number from 359 in It also now features five universities in the top ten three from an extremely progressive year for Chinese institutions Tsinghua University and two from Peking University whereas last year it featured only three. It sees 12 of its universities featured in the six new subjects, and all 12 rank in the world s top 100 for that subject. The standing of its graduates among employers has increased, too, underlining an extremely progressive year for Chinese institutions. Moving southwards, we also find Malaysian institutions enjoying a successful showing. This is exemplified by 116 subjects placing this year, up from 96 in At the top end, its successes are mainly driven by the Universiti Malaya and the Universiti Sains Malaya: they are responsible for all three of Malaysia s top-50 showings, with the former s Engineering Electrical & Electronic and the latter s Engineering Chemical courses rising from the band into the top 50. Malaysia sees rises in both its academic reputation score and its citations score, testifying to the increasing quality of research its universities are producing. It also sees eleven universities featured this year, one more than in Over in Europe, Russia increases its number of subjects featured from 46 to 71 a bigger percentage increase than China, though smaller in real terms and more than doubles its share of top-100 places. Nearly 30% of its ranked subjects rise up the rankings, while only 4% drop. Russia s rise is epitomised by the performance of Lomonosov Moscow: it features in 24 subject tables up from 20 in 2015 and rises in 9 of these. Most notably, it is now in the top 100 for half of these 24 subject tables; in 2015, it was only in the top 100 of 5 subject tables. Though Russia till occupies fewer than 1% of all ranked subjects this year s performance suggests that it is starting to gradually assert itself as a provider of truly world-class higher education across the board.

6 Methodology of the QS World University Rankings: by Subject 2016 The QS World University Rankings by Subject for 2016 cover more ground than last year, and do so in a more systematic way. As in 2015, we are adding six new disciplines this year. This year, they are Anthropology, Archaeology, Engineering Mineral & Mining, Nursing, Performing Arts, and Social Policy & Administration. It will never be possible for us to analyse every subject offered by universities across the world. But the 42 subjects we now cover take in the vast majority of academic life, whether you count it in terms of student numbers, staff numbers, or research activity. As in previous years, the ranking for each subject we list is compiled on the basis of up to four measures. Two of these, academic and employer opinion, are used in all of our subject rankings, and in the overall QS World University Rankings. They are based on our surveys of academics and employers around the world. This year s surveys account for the informed view of over 121,000 people, including 77,000 academics and 44,000 employers. Martin Ince Our academic experts are asked for the subjects in which they have attained expertise, and then which universities are the best in the world in that subject. They can pick up to 30 from a dropdown list, but cannot choose their own institution. For the employers, we simply ask where the good recruits come from. But here, there is a caveat to the methodology. If a firm hires only electrical engineers, for example, we weight its opinion of electrical engineers more heavily than if they hire any type of graduate. We give an intermediate weighting to their opinion if electrical engineering is one of a range of disciplines whose graduates they recruit. The other two measures are concerned with research, and specifically with the publication rates and impact of an institution s research. Both are derived from the Scopus database run by scientific publishing experts Elsevier, and cover a five-year time interval. The first measures the citations of papers for each subject from each university over that period, an acknowledged indicator of research influence. The final measure is each university s -index for each subject. This indicator is intended to capture the institution s breadth of research as well as its quality. If a university has 19 chemistry papers over five years with 19 or more citations each, its Index for chemistry is 19. Different academic subjects each have their own publishing culture, and the way in which we use these indicators varies to reflect this reality. In Medicine, the most publish-or-perish of all disciplines, we use citations and the Index to account for 25 per cent each of a university s possible score. We count citations data on more than five million papers in our medical ranking, by some distance the biggest paper count for any of our 42 subjects. But we have data on only 120,000 published papers concerned with istory. 4 QS World University Rankings by Subject

7 So here, the citations and Index count for only 15 per cent each. And there are other subjects such as Art & Design, for which there are too few papers for statistical significance. ere we draw up the ranking solely on the basis of employer and academic opinion. The 42 subjects ranked in our 2016 ranking vary vastly in terms of the shadow they cast on the academic scene. In their very different ways, Physics and Economics both feature in the offerings of any full-service university. That is why we rank 400 universities in physics, and a lesser but still impressive 300 for Economics and Econometrics. We can reach this level of precision because there are many employers and academics who know about Physics and Economics departments, and there are enough papers and citations to allow a deep analysis of publishing impact in these subjects. In other areas there may be fewer departments, fewer informed observers, and fewer publications. An example is the important but niche subject of Architecture & Built Environment. ere we publish only the top 100 institutions, with the group undifferentiated in rank. The 99.9% solution As well the new subjects that they include, there is one further significant improvement to the 2016 QS World University Rankings by Subject. It relates to the way in which they deal with the small number of papers whose authors are drawn from an exceptionally large number of institutions. These papers often come from big-science subject areas such as high-energy physics, cosmology or genomics. It is certain that the observation of gravitational waves reported in February 2016 will generate many such papers. The problem from our point of view is that giving each institution named on each such paper full credit for its content the 42 subjects we now cover take in the vast majority of academic life risks giving even these important papers too big a slice of the overall citations pie. At the same time, it is not practical to give each institution a share of the credit. Doing that would discourage research cooperation among small and large groups alike. The solution we have adopted, with the support of the Global Academic Advisory Board for the Rankings, is to omit from our calculations any paper with more than 99.9 per cent of the average number of institutional affiliations for that subject. (Remember that we are counting institutions, not authors. Ours is a ranking of universities, not of people.) This replaces our previous system of omitting all papers with more than ten institutional affiliations, which unfairly penalised a small number of big-science subjects. It resulted in the omission of 37,000 papers in Medicine and exactly three in Accounting & Finance. Six new subjects Our six new subjects for 2016 come from across the academic spectrum. At one extreme is Engineering Mineral & Mining, the sixth technology discipline in our ranking. This subject intersects with others that we have covered from Year One of these rankings. Civil engineering departments are often involved in mining, while chemical and process engineering is closely related to minerals treatment. owever, it exists as a discrete discipline as well. For example, the Royal School of Mines was one of the founding institutions of Imperial College London, which is seventh in this ranking over a century later. Next come Anthropology and Archaeology, two related subjects concerned with the past and present of the human race. These disciplines both attract big public interest as well as being of academic importance, and have become closer in methodology to the sciences in recent years. Because they have only limited employment and publication footprints, academic opinion counts for 70 per cent of each university s possible score for each of these subjects, and we publish only the top 100 universities for each. Social Policy & Administration is one of a group of subjects ranked here which feeds a specific professional path, that of public administration. So we have counted employer opinion for 20 per cent of a possible score in this ranking. The addition of Nursing brings to six the number of biomedical disciplines we cover. It naturally involves large numbers of students, and the amount of published research in the field has grown apace in recent years. Our sixth and last new subject for 2016 is also the one with the most star quality. It is Performing Arts. The institutions we list mostly deal in both music and drama, as well as other smaller subject areas such as dance. So it brings in colleges that would never feature in a mainstream university ranking. Seven of the top ten are not universities, including number 1, the Julliard School in New York. Because this is a teaching-intensive subject area in which the experts tend to be performers rather than researchers, we use academic and employer opinion, but not Index or citations, to compile this ranking.

10 Making use of the QS WUR by Subject: Students Guide The sixth edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject are now available, a unique information source you might use to make crucial decisions about your educational future. Our rankings are designed to be valuable to anybody, at any stage of their educational journey. owever, the way one chooses to use them might vary depending on their precise location on that journey. For those intending to apply for any degree programme in next year s cycle, and who are therefore in the early stages of their application process, the snapshot-form of the rankings can be of great use in conducting firststage research. At this stage, they can be used to help create aspirations for the next year of your life which universities excel in your subject, and for which ones will you aim? For those of you wishing to study a nonmainstream subject one that is perhaps provided by specialist institutions rather than the sort of comprehensive universities overall World University Rankings tend to emphasise scouring our subject rankings will help you establish not only which universities do, and excel in, your subject, but also the top universities that don t. Again, our rankings can act as a speedy filter, saving one the hassle of having to trawl through the web pages of the world s universities. Our rankings are designed to be valuable to anybody, at any stage of their educational journey. If you re at the end of your journey, with multiple offers in hand our rankings can act as a differentiator. By focusing on important aspects about a top university for example, how employable might a particular university make you? we empower you to work out what s most important about a university for you, and to discern which university will best fulfil that desire. Our rankings also serve a special purpose for those inclined to look beyond their home country. As one of the global university rankings, we help the internationally-minded to identify excellence on the global scale. For those who haven t yet considered studying abroad, we hope the worldwide snapshot provided might surprise you into considering the value of an international education thereby serving as a catalyst for further research into foreign universities, and your own global mobility. Since rankings cannot capture every aspect of a university that might matter to you we ve published a wealth of other resources to supplement and enhance your decision-making: our inaugural QS Graduate Employability Rankings, our overall World University Rankings, and our QS Best Student Cities rankings are great places to start, helping you construct a more detailed picture of what you want from your individual journey, and which course, and university, can best fit your wishes and ambitions. Students we survey continually testify to the immense value that can be derived from a world subject ranking, and we trust that this year s instalment will be no different. They are compiled, after all, for you. Jack Moran 8 QS World University Rankings by Subject

18 QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016: An Overview Sixteen different universities and specialist institutions top at least one table in this year s edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject, underlining the value of an exercise that highlights excellence where it counts for individual students in the areas they actually study. A succession of surveys demonstrate that subject rankings have become the greatest influence (after tuition fees) on those choosing to study abroad. While institutional rankings are generally better-known, students have come to realise that comparisons by subject may be a better guide to their academic experience at university. Universities, too, value the specific information that the rankings provide. A report on the impact of rankings produced by the European Universities Association said: Comparisons between universities on a subject basis can be much more useful for them than global university league tables that try to encapsulate entire institutions in a single score. The new rankings cover a record 42 subjects: six more than last year, and containing a number of subjects that are not ranked internationally elsewhere. Among the new subjects are Engineering Mineral and Mining, Anthropology, and Archaeology. The others are Social Policy and Administration, Nursing, and Performing Arts. As in previous years, the methodology varies with the subject, reflecting differing priorities and the availability of data. In Performing Arts, for example, citations yielded do not constitute academic currency, as they do in the sciences. Instead, the views of academics account for 90 per cent of the scores in a ranking dominated by specialist institutions. the strong showing by specialist institutions, many of which would not appear in overall rankings, [is] one of the benefits of drilling down to the subject level. In Nursing, by contrast, citations are plentiful: almost 250,000 papers were indexed for the new ranking. As a result, 30 per cent of the overall score is derived from citations, while another 30 per cent is derived from a faculty s h-index; both indexes measure the impact of an institution s research. Of the other new subjects, Anthropology, Social Policy & Administration, and Archaeology are judged mainly on academic reputation. The main components are reputational surveys among academics and employers, and the research record of the university in the subject being ranked. The rankings differ from QS s institutional comparisons in their use of academics h-index as well as citations to measure research, whereas staffing levels and measures of international outlook are not used. There has been one important change to the methodology behind the rankings, which will carry through to the QS World University rankings in September. In place of a single affiliation cap which excludes papers with more than ten authors from the calculation of citations, a variable cap has been introduced to take account of differences between subjects. After consultation with the QS Global Advisory Board, it was agreed that the cap should be set at the nearest whole number of affiliations above 99.9 per cent of all papers in the subject. Overall, this reduces the number of excluded papers by almost 75 per cent, but in some subjects there are more exclusions than before. The sixth edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject has seen considerable movement since the last subject rankings were published. Agriculture, Business and Management, Dentistry, Development Studies, English Language and Literature, istory, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Statistics all have new leaders, while numerous universities have entered the rankings for the first time. Not surprisingly, however, the top two universities in the QS World University 16 QS World University Rankings by Subject

19 Rankings the Massachusetts Institute of and arvard remain dominant in many subjects. Each leads a dozen tables, with MIT almost recording a clean sweep of the Engineering disciplines, and arvard supreme in the arts and social sciences, as well as in medical subjects. Oxford and Cambridge are their nearest challengers, with three top finishes each. Two other UK institutions the Royal College of Art and University College London s Bartlett Institute of Education also top a table, but the rankings attest to the comprehensive and numerous strengths of US higher education. American institutions lead in over 30 subjects, and the country s dominance is particularly obvious in areas such as Engineering, which are expensive to provide. US universities take the top three places in all of the five Engineering tables. Only two continental European universities feature among the leaders in any subject: Wageningen University, the specialist Dutch university, in Agriculture & Forestry, and Switzerland s ET Zurich in Earth & Marine Sciences. Top places are even scarcer for Asia, with the University of ong Kong s leadership in Dentistry the only example this year. Latin America, and to a lesser extent Africa, have a number of creditable results the University of Sao Paulo in the top ten for Dentistry, for example, and the University of Cape Town in the top ten for Development Studies. But neither continent is represented in the top five in any subject. As in most international rankings, universities whose academics teach and publish in a language other than English struggle to compete at the top level. Ben Sowter, who is responsible for the rankings as ead of the QS Intelligence Unit, said: 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 supporting students in their decision-making. We aim to add more depth, more detail, and more subjects to this work year-by-year, and this is what we have done in Mr Sowter added that the strong showing by specialist institutions, many of which would not appear in overall rankings, was one of the benefits of drilling down to the subject level. In Art & Design, for example, six out of the top seven places are taken by specialist institutions, and the same is true in the Performing Arts. In addition, comprehensive universities that do not appear at the top of the QS World University Rankings are able to demonstrate their strengths in particular areas. The University of Pittsburgh, for example, tops the Philosophy table despite finishing outside the top 100 in the institutional ranking, while the University of Southern California remains top for Communications & Media Studies, but is only three places higher than Pittsburgh overall. Several of the new subjects are dominated by specialist institutions. The ranking for Engineering Mineral & Mining, for example, is headed by the Colorado School of Mines, founded more than 140 years ago, and an independent state university educating over 4,400 undergraduate students. In Performing Arts, the leader is the Juilliard School, a world-famous private conservatoire for the subject, based at the Lincoln Center, in New York City. Focusing on drama, dance and music, it has almost 1,000 students taking a variety of courses, including four-year undergraduate degrees and Masters programmes. Juilliard s nearest challenger is another specialist institution, Vienna s University of Music and Performing Arts.
