The Times Higher Education China Subject Ratings are the only performance tables that judge Chinese institutions against their global peers based on the Chinese Ministry of Education¡¯s classification of subjects.

The methodology links closely to the É«ºÐÖ±²¥ World University Rankings, but the indicators have been adapted and recalibrated. The ratings measure research-intensive universities¡¯ subject performance across five key areas: teaching, research, citations, industry income and internationalisation.

The 2022 ratings include 1,634 universities worldwide, 91 of which are in mainland China. They measure performance in 82 subjects across 12 pillars.
