Page "College and university rankings" Paragraph 22

The 2007 ranking methodology was alleged to have favored universities with medical schools, and in response, HEEACT added assessment criteria.

The six field – based rankings are based on the subject categorization of WOS, including Agriculture & Environment Sciences ( AGE ), Clinical Medicine ( MED ), Engineering, Computing & Technology ( ENG ), Life Sciences ( LIFE ), Natural Sciences ( SCI ) and Social Sciences ( SOC ).

The ten subjects include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geosciences, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering ( including Energy & Fuels ), Materials Sciences, and Civil Engineering ( including Environmental Engineering ).
