World University Rankings 2020 by subject: clinical, pre-clinical and health

The 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings table for clinical, pre-clinical and health subjects uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as the overall World University Rankings, but the metric weightings have been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

It highlights the universities that are leading across medicine, dentistry and other health subjects.

The ranking includes 775 universities, up from 721 last year.
