University of Bristol Law School achieves Top 50 rank in the World

15 October 2021

The University of Bristol Law School has been ranked 43rd in Law in the latest Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2022.

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, founded in 2004, is one of the most respected and cited international league tables and include more than 1,600 universities across 99 countries and territories, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.

The rankings are based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

Professor Ken Oliphant, Head of School said, "This fantastic recognition of the School's all-round strength and its global standing is testimony to a lot of hard work over an extended period by our talented and dedicated staff. It's great to see it paying off with a Top 50 world ranking!"

In June, the QS World University Rankings 2022 analysed 1,673 intuitions – 145 more than last year – and placed the University of Bristol overall among the globe’s leading establishments, achieving 62nd place in the QS World University Rankings, 10th in the United Kingdom and 17th in Western Europe.
