The QS World University Rankings by Subject were based on the overall score garnered by universities per each subject based on reputation (academic and employer) and research impact (citations per paper). The reputation is assessed using QS’s major global surveys of academics and employers, whereas research impact is identified using citations data from Elsevier’s Scopus® bibliometric database. These rankings allow students to seek for leading tertiary education institutions in their selected field of study.
