The Times Higher Education World University Rankings subject tables will be launched from 13 September and include lists for education, law and psychology for the first time.

The subject-specific tables follow the publication of the overall THE World University Rankings 2018, which was revealed on 5 September and saw the UK’s University of Oxford claim the number one spot for the second year in a row.
