We are ranked 72nd in the prestigious QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025.
The rankings, announced in March 2025 assessed over 55 subjects from over 5,200 institutions across the world, based on academic and employer reputation, citations per academic paper, impact and quality of research and international research collaboration factors.
We are delighted to have maintained our position in the top 100. Recent research carried out by colleagues in our department has explored if Trump will be considered one of the great Presidents and if Labour’s latest immigration policy will be counterproductive.
Durham is a world-leading university. Our academic excellence and impact is reflected in our global rankings and this is a true credit to the outstanding teaching and research carried out at our University.
