Cambridge ranked first in world for Archaeology

We are delighted that Cambridge has topped the list of University rankings for Archaeology again in the QS World University Rankings. This year, over 250 institutions have been included in the rankings. This outcome is a reflection of the hard-work and dedication of our community in their world-leading research and teaching.

The QS Rankings are compiled annually to help prospective students identify the world's leading universities in specific subjects. The rankings incorporate various criteria, along with the results of major global surveys of employers and academics. More on the methodology used can be found on the QS website.
