The University of East Anglia (UEA) has maintained its position as one of the world’s leading universities for study and research in Development Studies, according to a global ranking table released today (Wednesday 10 April).
The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024 named UEA in the top 20 worldwide in Development Studies for a fourth year running, with the university 19th in the subject area.
The QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) World University Rankings by Subject 2024 ranked around 1,500 of the world’s top institutions in 55 different subjects, based on factors such as academic and employer reputation, and number of citations per academic paper, and research collaborations.
Elsewhere, UEA was also listed in the world’s top 100 for Environmental Sciences in the rankings, placing in joint 82nd by QS.
Beyond the top 100, QS group institutions into brackets of 50, with UEA between 101st and 150th worldwide in six other subject areas:
English Language and Literature
Nursing
Earth and Marine Sciences
Geography
Geology
Geophysics
The successful QS ranking result is another positive in what has a stellar few years for UEA’s School of Global Development, after the university was also named as the top development studies institution in the UK in the most recent Times Higher Education’s ranking table for the Research Excellence Framework in May 2022, for the impact of the University’s world-leading research in the subject area.
John McDonagh, Head of UEA’s School of Global Development, said: “We are once again very pleased and proud in the School of Global Development to see our excellence recognised with this global top 20 placement in the QS World rankings.”
