UCL subjects jump up world university rankings

University College London

More than half of UCL's subjects have climbed up the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022 - the world's most consulted university ranking - with improvements seen across the breadth of the institute.

A total of 22 out of 43 subjects were ranked higher compared to last year, including Accounting & Finance (up 13 places), Politics & International Studies (up 12 places) Engineering - Civil & Structural (up 11 places) and Geology (up 10 places).

IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, maintained its position as first in the world for Education for the ninth year in a row, whilst both the Bartlett, UCL Faculty of the Built Environment, and Archaeology retained places in the global top three.

Professor David Price, UCL Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement), said: "I am absolutely delighted to see the growing recognition of the excellence of such a wide range of subjects at UCL by QS, and it's a pleasure to see others endorse the university's strengths.

"I am also particularly pleased to see that the UCL IOE is considered to be the world number one in its field for the ninth consecutive year, which is a phenomenal achievement. It is also very pleasing to have recorded so many of our other excellent research communities as continuing to generate impressive outcomes.

"Although each league table focuses on different measures of success, we should all be very proud to see the growing recognition of excellence right across the breadth of the university. Congratulations to everyone at UCL whose work and dedication is reflected in these brilliant results - we should all be extremely proud."
