HKU Linguistics Ranked in Global Top 10

HKU made the global top 10 universities in the world in Linguistics in the latest QS University Subject Rankings released on April 29, 2015. Linguistics was ranked 9th in this annual survey of the top 800 universities worldwide, up from 18th last year. Modern Languages was ranked 15th and a further two subjects, History and English Language & Literature, made the global top 50. Published annually since 2011, the rankings are based on academic reputation, employer reputation and research impact.

While university rankings and league tables vary widely because they each employ different criteria and methodologies, HKU’s presence amongst the best institutions in the world in these subjects can be regarded as recognition of the outstanding achievements by members of our Faculty of Arts. It is a welcome acknowledgement of the Faculty’s excellence in teaching and research, and of the part it plays in providing a platform for HKU students to be well-rounded leaders with vision and humanity and the capacity to serve the local community and beyond.
