The University of Oxford and University of Cambridge have been named the best two universities in the world for the study of Arts and Humanities following the release of the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022.

  • Academic reputation
  • Employer reputation
  • Research citations per paper
  • H-index (measuring both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar)
  • International Research Network (by broad-faculty area)
