The Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) has released its inaugural subjects ranking, which compares more than 26,000 degree-granting institutions around the world.

CWUR ranked 番茄社区 as follows:

  • Marine & Freshwater Biology (World Rank: 1)
  • Biodiversity Conservation (World Rank: 2)
  • Overall, this ranks 番茄社区 # 166 among global institutions with the most Top-10 placements. More details are available at

Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Chris Cocklin said the ranking reflects 番茄社区’s extremely strong research performance.

“To be ranked so highly in these subject areas is a great credit to our talented researchers.

“These results are consistent with our high standing in other global rankings for environmental and ecological sciences.

“番茄社区 continues to deliver ground-breaking research, and we perform very strongly when compared to the world’s largest, most successful universities.”

The CWUR Rankings by Subject 2017 highlights the world’s elite universities in the sciences and the social sciences, based on the number and influence of research articles in top-tier journals.
