Institutional Subject Ranking

World Social Sciences and Humanities Institutional Subject Rankings 2025

We provide global, continental, and national subject rankings for 24.359 universities/institutions in fields such as Agriculture and Forestry, Architecture and Design, Business and Management, Economics and Econometrics, Education, Engineering and Technology, History, Philosophy, Theology, Law, Medicine and Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Others. This ranking, based on the Total H Index, is in Beta. Two new additions, Art and Humanities Rankings and Social Sciences and Humanities Rankings, offer a unique focus exclusively on arts, humanities, and social sciences, excluding medicine, engineering, and natural sciences. Please note that both rankings are in their Beta version. The global, regional, national, and institutional subject rankings are still evolving as the 'Others' category ((1.014.374 profiles) contains scientists whose fields are unidentified or yet to be edited, so rankings may change accordingly. Rankings reflect the presence of scientists in a branch, not whether the institution has a dedicated faculty. See also: Individual Subject Rankings.
