World University Rankings by Subject 2019: Life Sciences

The 2019 Times Higher Education World University Rankings’ table for life sciences subjects uses the same rigorous range of 13 performance indicators as the overall World University Rankings, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit individual fields.

It highlights universities that are leading across agriculture and forestry, biological sciences, veterinary science and sport science subjects.

This year, we have made an adjustment to the eligibility criterion for academic staff in the subject tables, resulting in more universities being eligible for inclusion.
