World University Rankings by Subject 2023: Arts and Humanities

The arts and humanities subject table uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

The ranking highlights the universities that are leading across the following disciplines: art, performing arts, design, languages, literature, linguistics, history, philosophy, theology, architecture and archaeology.

This year’s table includes 663 universities, up from 606 last year.

The top four is the same as last year, while the remainder of the top 10 features the same institutions in a slightly different order. Two universities join the top 20 this year: China’s Peking University, which rises three places to 18th, and the Netherlands’ Delft University, in 19th place.
