Top 5 Institutions by Subject In the tables below the [number] in square brackets is the global rank of that institution for the given subject. Thorough checks are conducted for the ranked institutions in each subject but where fewer than five institutions for the country in question are present in a given subject ranking, we have included the runners up - these are presented in grey. In many cases, these institutions beyond the published ranking, owe their position to relatively low amounts of data (which is why the ranking itself are truncated) and whether or not the institution operates degree programs in that subject may not have been verified. Nonetheless it has been found useful in the context of a country report to present these additional data. At the tail end of a table institutions can appear in dsiciplines they are not very active in due to very strong profiles in "neighbouring" subjects. Since the All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) system operates at a journal level an institution strong in Chemistry can appear in Chemical Engineering for example. Within ranked ranges the existence of qualifying programs is personally checked by a member of the QSIU team - but this is not always practical for the hundreds of entries falling outside the range. At time of writing the QSIU team have manually verified the operation of programs in over 15,000 subject institution intersections.
