Medicine rises again in QS World Subject Rankings

The Faculty of Medicine’s growing reputation around the world has led to an impressive rise of nine places in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023.

It means the Faculty is now ranked at 62nd, cementing its place within the top 100 in the world. It is ranked 11th in the UK.

Professor Diana Eccles, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, commented: “We are incredibly proud of this outstanding result, which is a testament to our dedicated and highly skilled staff who work tirelessly to bring research and education together to create a rich and diverse curriculum for our students and one that positively impacts healthcare in the UK and around the world.

“Our continued improvement in the QS rankings reflects our interdisciplinary nature in which we bring medics, scientists, engineers and biologists together to tackle some of the world’s most pressing medical issues and make medicine more accessible to students and patients alike. I would like to thank all our staff and students for their hard work over the past year and Professors Ruihua Hou and James Batchelor, Associate Deans International, for leading our contribution to the data required for the QS ranking exercise.”

The Faculty of Medicine is proud to provide an innovative research-led curriculum that puts compassion and communication at the centre, giving students contact with patients early in their first year.

This is alongside cutting-edge research in areas such as cancer, osteoporosis, asthma and nutrition, taking basic scientific discoveries in the laboratory and translating them into successful clinical treatments for the benefit of patients.

Our teams have been responsible for discovering the relationship between birth weight and a lifetime risk of chronic diseases; were the first to use fibre-optic bronchoscopy to demonstrate the cellular mechanisms in asthma; and have pioneered the use of our own immune system to fight cancer.
