Northumbria University has risen
significantly in two subject areas in the 2019 Times Higher Education’s World Rankings,
marking further improvements in the institution’s international profile.
After publishing its world rankings for
universities in September, Times Higher Education (THE) has today released the
third of four announcements ranking 11 different subject areas (Wednesday 7
November).
Clinical, Pre-Clinical & Health at
Northumbria has risen 150 places from 401-500 in 2018 and is now rated in the
top 201-250 courses offered by universities worldwide. The University’s
Physical Sciences courses have also climbed by 100 places and are now rated
within the 301-400 best in the world. Psychology at Northumbria features in
THE’s World Rankings by subject for the first time, appearing in the top 401+
courses available globally.
Northumbria has maintained its strong
position in Life Sciences, with subjects ranked in the top 401-500 worldwide,
as well as Arts and Humanities, where courses at Northumbria feature in the top
301-400.
The subjects
are ranked by measuring performance in 13 areas, covering teaching and the
learning environment; the volume, income and reputation of research and the
influence of this research by the number of times it is cited. The rankings
also consider the international outlook of a university and how much income it
generates from industrial relationships.
The improved
performance of these subject areas follows Northumbria’s significant rise in
the latest THE World University Rankings released in September. Northumbria is
now ranked within the top 401-500 of more than 1,200 universities worldwide.
Times Higher
will release its rankings for Engineering and Technology and Computer Science
courses later this month, which will conclude the 2019 THE World University
Rankings by subject.

Health, Physical Sciences, Psychology and Life Sciences courses at Northumbria
