Institutional Subject Ranking

Kenya Institutional Subject Rankings 2025

The subject-based institutional rankings provided by AD Scientific Index cover the performance of 24.453 institutions across 13 main fields. These rankings evaluate universities' strengths or weaknesses in specific subjects independently of their overall ranking, offering a focused perspective. By providing comparative global performance assessments for each field, AD Scientific Index serves as a valuable benchmark for equivalency assessments and transfer applications. Two newly introduced categories—Art and Humanities University Rankings and Social Sciences and Humanities University Rankings—offer a unique focus on the arts, humanities, and social sciences, excluding fields such as medicine, engineering, and natural sciences. Please note that these rankings are still in their Beta phase. The ‘Others’ category, which includes 873.688 profiles, comprises scientists whose fields are either unidentified or yet to be updated, and as such, rankings may be subject to change. These rankings reflect the presence of scientists in a given field, not whether the institution has a dedicated faculty for that subject. Enhance your institution's impact with tailored strategies by exploring our Exclusive Free Institutional Support & Consultancy Services. For more detailed insights, please explore the Individual Subject Rankings.
