Harvard and MIT top subject ranking charts

QS, one of the top University and Subject Rankers in the world, recently distributed the world's biggest subject rankings, including 42 disciplines. The United States at the end of the day rules the roost, topping 31 subjects, with MIT and Harvard securing the main spot in 12 subjects each. There are 551 foundations from 49 nations in the main 100 in no less than one subject.

There are 16 universities in the rankings that lead in no less than one of the subjects. Beside American establishments' 31 top spots, United Kingdom establishments started things out in eight subjects, while the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Switzerland each asserted one top position. Six subjects have been added to the past 36 human sciences, mining designing, prehistoric studies, nursing, public policy and performing arts.

The subject rankings depend on four markers: the conclusions of 76,798 scholastics and 44,426 managers, examination of 28.5 million research papers and 113 million references from the Scopus-Elsevier biometric database. In the main 50 over the 42 subjects, the US accomplished 36 percent of all positions. Asian colleges represented 16 percent of the main 50 subject places; the UK got 15 percent and Europe a further 15 percent, while Australia asserted 9 percent and Canada 6 percent. America was down almost 1 percent from the prior year while the UK enhanced by 1.3 percent.

Harvard and MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) took the lion's offer of top spots with their 12 subjects each. Another seven American establishments secured one in front of the pack, taking the US aggregate to 31 of the 42 subjects.

UK universities started things out in eight subjects, with Oxford taking the most at four, while the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Switzerland each asserted one top spot. MIT led the pack in computer science, architecture and construction, chemistry, economics, civil and structural engineering, chemical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, linguistics, mechanical engineering, and statistics and operational research and physics and astronomy.
