Oxford top for arts and humanities in the QS World University Rankings by Subject

Oxford University has been named as the best university in the world for arts and humanities in the 2022 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

When the rankings are broken down by subject groupings, we also come top for English Language and Literature; Modern Languages; and Theology and second for Classics and Ancient History; and History. 

This follows similar success in the Arts and Humanities category in last year's rankings.

The QS rankings are calculated by aggregating research citations and the results of major global surveys of employers and academics. More information on the methodology is published on their website.
