51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

The 2019 Times Higher Education World 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Rankings table for law subjects uses the same rigorous and balanced range of 13 performance indicators as the overall World 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Rankings, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

This year, we have made a small adjustment to the eligibility criterion for academic staff in the subject tables, which has resulted in more universities being eligible for inclusion.

The 2019 law ranking has also expanded to include 187 universities, up from 100 last year.
