The best universities for engineering, technology and computer science degrees have been published as one of ShanghaiRanking Consultancy’s five subject rankings.

Two hundred universities around the world are included in the ranking, which has been published annually since 2007.

Every year since then the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has come top of the engineering ranking, and 2016 is no exception.

In second place is Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. It is the highest rank for an Asian university across all of the five subjects.

In fact, the engineering ranking has an exceptionally high number of Asian institutions at the very top; half of the top 10 universities are based in the Asia/Pacific region.

China is almost as represented in the ranking as the United States; the former has 42 featured universities compared to 47 in the US and only 14 in the UK.

The top UK university is, unusually, not Oxford or Cambridge but Imperial College London, which has a focus on science, engineering, technology and medicine.

Outside the UK, the top university in Europe for engineering, technology and computer sciences is École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, where more than half the students are international.

Results for the five broad field rankings are calculated using a set of indicators which cover research publications, citations and research funding.

In addition to the ARWU-FIELD rankings, ShanghaiRanking also published a further breakdown for engineering disciplines into seven subjects for the first time in 2016.
