World University Rankings 2019 by subject: clinical, pre-clinical and health

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

It highlights the universities that are leading across medicine, dentistry and other health subjects.

This year, we have made a small adjustment to the eligibility criterion for academic staff in the subject tables, which has resulted in more universities being eligible for inclusion.

The 2019 clinical, pre-clinical and health ranking has also expanded to include 721 universities, up from 501 last year.

Australia’s University of Melbourne is the only institution outside the UK and US to feature in the top 10, claiming joint ninth place.
