In the arts and humanities subject table of the THE World University Rankings 2025, UCL has been placed in 7th position and shares this position with the University of California, Berkeley. This places UCL as the top London university for arts and humanities in 2025.  

The arts and humanities subject table uses the same trusted and rigorous performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings 2025, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.

This THE subject ranking encompasses a diverse range of subjects that define the field. From UCL Arts & Humanities, this includes:

  • Languages, Literature and Linguistics
  • Philosophy 
  • Art, Performing Arts and Design

UCL Arts & Humanities is recognised globally for both its teaching and research excellence. The THE World University Rankings 2025 by subject showcases this alongside other recent rankings including The Good University Guide 2025Guardian University Guide 2025 and QS Subject Rankings 2024, where UCL Arts & Humanities was again ranked the top London university for arts and humanities.
