Triple success in international subject league tables
Durham is once again celebrating after three of its subjects were ranked in the world top 100 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject 2020. The rankings, which are released in stages each autumn, ranked Social Sciences (which includes Sociology, Geography, Politics and International Studies), Education and Law at Durham amongst the very best in the world. Our Law School has achieved its best ever result in this ranking, being placed 33rd in the world, whilst Education and Social Sciences have both retained their world top 100 positions, ranking 53rd and 63rd respectively. If you look at our achievements in the last month, it's not hard to see why we continue to be so strong in these subjects. Distinguished social scientists Just three weeks ago five of our academics were awarded Fellowships by the prestigious Academy of Social Sciences. The Academy of Social Sciences is the UK's national academy of academics, learned societies and practitioners in the social sciences. Fellowships are awarded to distinguished scholars and professional practitioners from academia and the public and private sectors.
