The Royal Veterinary College retains top spot in global rankings
The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) is, for the fourth consecutive year, celebrating its leading position for Veterinary Science in the QS World University Subject Rankings 2024. It is the fifth time the RVC has earned the top ranking.
QS analysed the reputation and research of almost 5,000 institutions across 55 narrow subject areas and five broad subject areas, creating more than 19,100 ranked entries. The rankings were then finalised using several indicators including, Academic Reputation; Employer Reputation; Citations per Paper; and H-Index, which quantifies the output and influence of scholarly output.
For the eighth consecutive year, the RVC maintained its perfect score of 100 for Academic Reputation. It has also strengthened its achievements in Employer Reputation, reflecting the employability and impact of the RVC’s graduates and alumni and the institution’s standing amongst employers. The institution’s scores for citations and H-Index have also improved at 99.7 and 98.1 respectively.
Professor Stuart Reid CBE, President & Principal of the RVC, said:
‘’We are delighted to receive news of the latest QS rankings and to know that, in a highly competitive sector, our reputation continues to be recognised internationally. Being ranked highly by one’s peers is humbling, and I am grateful for the efforts of all those who contributed to this outcome. It is particularly pleasing that our graduates and alumni are making such a positive impact with their employees in their chosen careers.’’
The RVC offers internationally recognised undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in veterinary medicine, veterinary nursing and biological sciences. Complementing each other, these programmes support the RVC’s veterinary remit and are also underpinned by an intensive research portfolio.
