QS World University Rankings by Subject

MIT outshines Stanford and Cambridge in first ever
QS World University Rankings® for technical subjects

Greek Universities’ outstanding performance confirmed once again!

-          MIT tops all five rankings: Computer Sciences; Chemical; Civil; Electrical; Mechanical Engineering

-          Stanford and Cambridge share second places

-          30 subjects to be ranked in coming weeks on www.topuniversities.com along with a personalised ranking tool to help students make the right choice

Greek universities performed pretty impressive in the first subject rankings for technical subjects:

-          National Technical University of Athens
o   51-100 in Electrical & Electronic Engineering
o   51-100 in Civil & Structural Engineering
o   101-150 in Mechanical Engineering;
o   151-200 in Computer Science & Information Systems
o   151-200 in Chemical Engineering


-          Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
o   51-100 in Civil & Structural Engineering
o   101-150 in Chemical Engineering
o   151-200 in Computer Science & Information Systems
o   151-200 in Mechanical Engineering

-          University of Patras
o   101-150 in Civil & Structural Engineering
o   101-150 in Chemical Engineering

-          University of Athens
o   51-100 in Civil & Structural Engineering
o   151-200 in Electrical Engineering

-          University of Crete
o   51-100 in Mechanical Engineering




The Greek Universities are in the Top 100 Universities in the areas of Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering with National Technical University of Athens ranked 51-100 in Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering and be the only Greek University that ranks in all the specializations. University of Crete which ranks 51-100 is the best Greek University in Mechanical Engineering while Aristotle University of Thessaloniki  in Civil and Chemical Engineering along with University of Athens.

Although University of Patras has joined the QS World University Rankings® in 2010 for the first time and was ranked in the cluster 501-550, it performed really well in the first subject rankings and appeared in the 101-150 cluster in the areas of Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering.

The first ever QS World University Rankings® by Subject shows MIT to be the world’s leading university in computer science and four areas of engineering, based on employer reputation, academic reputation and research quality.

Over 50,000,000 people have viewed QS World University Rankings® in the past 12 months and there has been overwhelming demand for more detailed subject rankings incorporating a unique combination of employability and research quality metrics. The QS methodology has been tailored to each subject, in consultation with the QS Global Academic Advisory Board.

“QS World University Rankings® use of academic and employer review data is a real market differentiator”, states Paul Thurman, a leading data analyst and professor at Columbia University in New York and a member of the Advisory Board; “not only because of the sample sizes, which are industry-leading, but because of the way QS takes the data from the surveys and is able to extract meaningful results and interpretations”.

“The new QS World University Rankings® by Subject respond to a need for comparative data at a more granular level”, says Ben Sowter, Head of QS Intelligence Unit, which produces the rankings. “In many countries students are being charged more than ever before for their degrees. So assessing the potential career outcomes of one’s study choice is becoming increasingly important. QS rankings are unique in taking on board the views of global employers”.

"It is a great development to see subject rankings as a refinement of the usual university rankings,” says Sej Butler, EMEA Recruitment Manager, IBM. “This will help students and employers look to those courses in more detail within a wider context."

The news that the opinions of employers do not always correlate with those of academics will raise eyebrows among prospective students. The results are published in separate data columns on www.topuniversities.com, allowing users to personally rank according to each indicator.
