The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is one of the world's top 20 universities in computer sciences, natural sciences and engineering. This is shown by the latest subject rankings published by the British magazine Times Higher Education (THE).
In the THE World University Rankings by Subject, TUM achieved the following positions:
• Computer Science: 15
(1st in Germany)
• Physical Sciences: 19

includes chemistry, physics, mathematics, and environmental sciences, among others

• Life Sciences: 35

• Medical and Health: 54
(4th in Germany)
• Social Sciences: 80

The THE rankings take various factors into account: on the one hand, academics worldwide are asked about the reputation of universities in research and teaching. On the other hand, data such as the number of publications per researcher, citations per publication, the ratio of teaching staff to students, third-party funding raised from industry, the number of patents and the degree of internationalization are evaluated. These indicators are weighted according to the prevailing culture in the various subject areas. In the recently published main edition of the THE World University Rankings, TUM is ranked 27th.
TUM also ranks among the top 20 in the QS World University Rankings by Subject in natural sciences (18th place) and engineering (19th place). In the Shanghai Rankings, which examine more narrowly defined subjects, it belongs to the best 20 universities three times and to the top 50 six more times.
