No.1 in the World
Loughborough University has been ranked number 1 in the world for sports-related subjects for the last nine years in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.
The QS ranking is based on surveying academic staff that declare a speciality in the subject area, and employers who seek to employ graduates that specialise in the discipline.
It is also based on research output and impact, with both citations and paper output measured over a five-year period.
The University has taken the title ever since it was launched by QS in 2017, a testament to its outstanding regard among the world’s academic community.
A monumental achievement
Ben Sowter, Senior Vice President at QS commented: “Securing the title of the world's best for sports-related subjects for an extraordinary ninth year running in the QS World University Rankings by Subject is a landmark achievement for Loughborough.
“Sustaining this level of global excellence across nearly a decade speaks to the university’s relentless innovation, industry-leading research, and its profound influence on the future of sport. Loughborough has become synonymous with high performance – not just on the field, but in shaping the very science, business, and culture of sport worldwide.”
