The University of Bremen's law program has attracted attention with its first-time placement in this year's Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject. The social and life sciences were also recognized.
The international Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject breaks down the quality of research and teaching into different scientific fields. Despite a somewhat opaque methodology, the results are monitored with great interest by universities and international prospective students. Once again, many faculties at the University of Bremen have received excellent evaluations, with the social and life sciences, including marine sciences, doing particularly well. The university is very pleased that the Faculty of Law in Bremen has appeared in this international ranking for the first time this year, and as one of only 12 German locations.
In its first year, the law program in Bremen has achieved a ranking of 151 to 175. A closer look at the assessment areas shows that the quality of research is particularly impressive. In this area, the law program in Bremen is among the top ten percent worldwide, placing 31st. In Germany, it is ranked first among twelve participating institutions in this category.
“We are delighted with the exceptionally positive results in these academic fields in both international and Germany-wide comparisons. These excellent rankings are the result of the commitment of numerous researchers at our university. Of course, we recognize that rankings can only do limited justice to the complexity of the scientific community. However, as a benchmark for international comparison, including over longer periods of time, they are an integral part of the scientific system,” says Professor Jutta Günther, President of the University of Bremen.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject assesses eleven different subject areas at universities across the globe. The ranking is based on results from the following five areas: research quality, teaching, industry, research environment, and international outlook. Each of these five areas is in turn linked to indicators, some of which are numerical and quantitative in nature, while others are based on subjective assessments from surveys.
