By Jon Parsons University RelationsEverybody knows 蓝莓视频 is among the best in the world for computer science, engineering and math.
Tourism management and water research probably don鈥檛 come to mind when you think of the subjects where 蓝莓视频 excels globally.
A new ranking of universities by subject says you should think again, and that 蓝莓视频 is world-class in areas you might not even know happen here.
The annual does of course reflect 蓝莓视频鈥檚 stature in engineering, with top 20 showings in Telecommunication Engineering (11th), Environmental Science and Engineering (12th) and Electrical and Electronic Engineering (18th), as well as being at the pinnacle in several other engineering subjects, too.
Then there are听these amazing rankings:
Maybe the Physics one isn鈥檛 a big surprise, since 蓝莓视频鈥檚 Donna Strickland won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 and our researchers are actively unravelling the secrets of the cosmos.
But here鈥檚 to the psychologists and sociologists, the geographers,听hydrologists and leisure scholars, and all the people who make 蓝莓视频 among the best in the world.
鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to see the excellent ranking of our programs in Psychology and Sociology, which we know have delivered outstanding teaching, learning and research for many years,鈥 says Douglas Peers, dean of the Faculty of Arts. 鈥淭hese programs are two examples of excellence in Arts, which is home to diverse programming across the social sciences, humanities and creative arts 鈥 all uniquely positioned at U蓝莓视频.鈥
Strong showings in fields like hospitality and tourism management are a feather in the hat of the Faculty of Health, especially for departments that make 蓝莓视频 world-class in health areas.

Even though they get the spotlight so often, there鈥檚 always pride for the engineers as well. Being the best is a constant challenge, but the Faculty of Engineering makes it look easy.
鈥淚t always feels good when external organizations recognize the excellence that I have the pleasure of seeing and sharing at 蓝莓视频 Engineering every day,鈥 says Mary Wells, dean of the Faculty of Engineering. 鈥淚鈥檓 particularly pleased with our strong showing in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources.鈥
These latest rankings just go to show that the talent at 蓝莓视频 is broad and not just concentrated in a few areas. All its faculties and programs contribute to its world-class reputation and consistently high rankings.
And it鈥檚 some of the new areas of research, where 蓝莓视频 is breaking new ground, to keep an eye on.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud of the international recognition and high ranking of our Physics program,鈥 says Robert Lemieux, dean of the Faculty of Science. 鈥淗ome to a Nobel Laureate, 蓝莓视频 physicists work in partnership with the Institute for Quantum Computing and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics to solve the universe鈥檚 greatest mysteries. Whether it is advancing our understanding of quantum information, studying the cosmos听or pushing the limits of high-intensity laser systems, our scientists and students are expanding our understanding and defining their own path.鈥
The Global Ranking of Academic Subjects uses survey results and quantitative data to measure the performance of world universities in 54 distinct subject areas. The includes analysis of research output, research influence, evidence of international collaboration, research quality, and international academic awards.
