The ranking of degree programs, is fully comparable to the QS World University Rankings of Subject, and consists of five broad subject areas:

●      Arts and Humanities

●      Engineering and Technology

●      Life Sciences and Medicine

●      Natural Sciences

●      Social Sciences and Management

Each of these subject areas represents an overall ranking of universities by the programs they offer in that field. Studying these broad subject areas is a good way to compare universities if you don't know which degree program to pursue, but just want to get a general idea of the reputation of universities in a broad field.

Subject rankings also allow you to view subject-specific rankings. This year's rankings cover 6 disciplines (undergraduate and postgraduate levels):

Medicine,

Pedagogy,

Information Technology, Information Technology and Systems
