The QS World University Rankings by subject for 2025 have been released and we're delighted to see Oxford University at the top spot for English Language and Literature once again. We were awarded an overall score of 97.6 and a perfect 100 for academic reputation. Oxford has been at the top of the QS University rankings for English Language and Literature since 2016. This year we hold the top spot joint with Cambridge University.
Professor Simon Horobin, Chair of the English Faculty Board, commented:
I’m delighted that Oxford’s English Faculty has topped the QS University rankings for the ninth consecutive year. It’s wonderful to see the exceptional research, teaching, learning and support carried out by our faculty, staff and students being recognised in this way.
