World University Rankings 2020 by subject: engineering and technology

The 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings table for engineering and technology subjects uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as our overall ranking, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

It highlights the universities that are leading across general engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering subjects.

This year’s table has expanded to include 1,008 universities, up from 903 last year.
