Cairo University also ranked 38th globally for the first time in the field of library and information management to be followed by Alexandria University.
The American University in Cairo was listed among top universities in the fields of politics, sociology, accounting and finance, business and management studies, and modern languages.
The rankings aim to help prospective students identify the world’s leading schools in their chosen field in response to high demand for subject-level comparisons.
Each of the narrow subject rankings is compiled using four sources. The first two of these are QS’s global surveys of academics and employers, which are used to assess institutions’ international reputation in each subject. The second two indicators assess research impact, based on research citations per paper and h-index in the relevant subject.
