World University Rankings by Subject 2020: Psychology

The 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings table for psychology subjects uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as the overall World University Rankings, but the metric weightings have been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

The 13 performance indicators assess several areas of psychology, including educational, sport, business, animal and clinical psychology.

The ranking includes 494 universities, up from 463 last year.
