The QS World University Ranking by Subject is a global university ranking conducted by QS Quacquarelli Symonds since 2004. This year, a total of 1,543 institutions worldwide were ranked in 51 subjects. Methodologically, the subject ranking is based on surveys of scientists and employers as well as on the number of citations per scientific publication in the respective subject area.
