Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Institute of Education holds its position as the world number 1 in Education, with Archaeology, Architecture/Built Environment and Anatomy & Physiology all ranking in the top 5 globally, and Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy & Pharmacology, Psychology, Geography and Anthropology in the top 10.

Dentistry shows year on year growth (13, 8, 6) as does English (17, 16, 14).

The university features amongst the world's leading institutions in 37 of the 46 subjects featured in this year's rankings. In the 37 subjects in which Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê is active:

The worldwide ranking of 15 subjects has remained unchanged, including Education (1), Architecture (2) and Life Sciences (11).

Professor David Price, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Vice-Provost (Research), said: "While we take all league tables with a pinch of salt, we're delighted to see Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's continued performance across a wide range of subjects recognised in the latest QS rankings. These results would not be possible without the hard work of colleagues across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, and are recognition of both the breadth of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's expertise, and the excellence of each of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Schools."Ìý

The QS World University Rankings, which rank universities overall, rather than at subject level, will be published later this year. In 2016, these rankings placed Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê at number 7 in the world.
