Drama ranked 30th and English 32nd in the world in QS World University Rankings by Subject (2017)

In a prestigious survey of 4,438 universities, Drama at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has risen, remarkably, from the 51-100 range last year to 30th in the world this year in the Performing Arts subject category. English has continued its steady ascendance since 2013, climbing this time from 35th to 32nd in the world in the English Language and Literature subject category.

The QS World University Rankings by Subject is considered to be among the most trusted of league tables. Rankings are based on academic and employer reputations and research citations per faculty (the number of times the research is credited in the work of other academics).

 

Professor Warren Boutcher (Head of School of English and Drama) said:

“I am delighted to see our world-class English and Drama departments continue to ascend the QS World University Rankings by Subject, now heading towards the top 30. This reflects our upward curve in terms of the excellence we are achieving in both disciplines, and promises a very bright future.”

 

 Professor Matthew Hilton, Vice-Principal (Humanities and Social Sciences) said:

“I am especially pleased for colleagues in the Drama Department, now ranked 30th in the world.”
