Recently QS, the world's university ranking organization, released its 2021 Subject Rankings. The rankings cover a total of 48 disciplines, assessing more than 1,100 universities in 151 countries, and are based on a comprehensive assessment of the disciplines by leading scholars from around the world over the past six years, comprehensive evaluations by top employers of the global competitiveness of graduates from the relevant universities, and analysis of more than 22 million academic documents and 200 million citations in the largest abstracts database.

Four key metrics were used in the rankings: academic reputation, employer ratings, citation rates, and the H-index, while the five disciplines ranked included arts and humanities, engineering and technology, life sciences and medicine, natural sciences, and social sciences and management.

The rankings show that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) tops the list of the latest natural sciences programs, followed by Stanford University and Harvard University, which make up the top three in the world, while the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford are ranked 4th and 5th respectively.
