“In order to produce world-leading graduates, we must provide a world-leading education,” he says.
“UC academics are at the forefront of knowledge in their fields, actively involved in research and publishing in areas of expertise and to see our subjects ranked among the top 100 globally proves we are moving in the right direction.”
The University currently boasts 11 subjects in the Top 250 world-wide, including Agriculture and Forestry, Geology, Geophysics, Communications and Media Studies, Law, Politics and International Studies, Earth and Marine Sciences, and Education along with its three Top 100 ranking subjects.
The results, determined by citation of research publications and academic and employer engagement, come at a time when the University is actively researching issues affecting us on a global scale, particularly the environmental impact of climate change.
“It’s clear that research leadership in critical issues is more important than ever, and I am proud to see the expanding emergence of climate, environment and sustainability-conscious research being recognised internationally, along with our consistently high performing subjects of Linguistics and Civil and Structural Engineering,” Professor Wright says.
The results follow QS inaugural World Ranking: Sustainability results in October 2022, which placed UC 11th in the world for Sustainable Education.
