League table success

The School has been ranked as 6th in the world in the 2016 QS World Rankings for Pharmacy and Pharmacology.

The QS World University Rankings by Subject rank the world’s top universities in individual subject areas, covering 42 subjects in 2016. The rankings aim to help prospective students identify the world’s leading schools in their chosen field. Each of the subject rankings is compiled using four sources. The first two of these are QS’s global surveys of academics and employers, which are used to assess institutions’ international reputation in each subject. The second two indicators assess research impact, based on research citations per paper and h-index in the relevant subject. These are sourced from Elsevier’s Scopus database, the world’s most comprehensive research citations database.  

Professor Clive Roberts, Head of School said,

This is wonderful news. The ranking reflects a holistic picture of the School including an assessment of our research outputs, teaching quality and our international reputation and is therefore something to which all staff contribute. I am grateful to all staff for their excellent work in achieving this status.
