In terms of the number of world’s top-10 programmes, the United States dominates this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject with 239, followed by the United Kingdom with 131, Switzerland (31), Singapore (23), Canada (19), Netherlands (15), Australia (13), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) (7), France and Italy (6 each) and China (mainland) with 4. However, the American share of number-one spots (28/51, 53%) has declined year on year. Five years ago, the US held 71% of the top positions (34/48). Its share of top-10 positions has also declined slightly (239 vs 245 in 2021). Nevertheless, American universities continue to dominate global rankings, driven by a strong emphasis on research to tackle global challenges.
