The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-2016 have recently been released. As the Times explains, this ranking provides a list of the best global universities by judging them “across all of their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.”
While the Times does not provide a separate ranking for law, this category is part of the Times Higher Education Subject Rankings. Specifically, law is among the disciplines that are used to create this ranking. In terms of methodology, the Social Sciences Ranking is based on teaching, research, citations, international outlook, and industry income.
