It has overtaken Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s previous spot.

Nanyang Technology University (NTU) now ranks first worldwide for the materials science subject after overtaking the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s spot, according to the most recent Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject.

Eight of NTU’s subject areas have ranked in the global top 10 — and 25 have entered the top 50 — marking the university’s best performance in the QS subject rankings.

The rankings show that 13 of the disciplines have made it into the top 20, which are: materials science (1st); electrical and electronic engineering (4th); mechanical, aeronautical, and manufacturing engineering (5th); chemical engineering (6th); communication and media studies (6th); civil and structural engineering (7th); chemistry (8th); Education (9th); computer science and information systems (12th); environmental sciences (13th); library and information management (18th); business and management studies (20th); and physics and astronomy (20th).

There are also improvements in terms of faculty rankings in broad subject areas, such as engineering and technology climbing by four places to top four, natural sciences ranking 14th and social sciences and management at rank 17th. Concurrently, arts and humanities soared by 20 places to top 41, whilst life sciences and medicines leaped by 25 places to top 119.

“The QS subject rankings clearly show that our faculty are leading contributors of cutting-edge research in many disciplines, especially in NTU’s established strengths across engineering, science, business, education, and the arts and social sciences that generate a steady flow of ideas to fuel Singapore's innovation system,” a spokesperson said.
