QS World University Rankings by Subject

QS World University Rankings by Subject (QS WUR by Subject) is built on four criteria: Academic Reputation (AR), Employer Reputation (ER), Research Citations per paper and H-index (which measures the faculty's productivity and the impact of their scientific announcements). Depending on the field, the weight of the criteria will be different. For example, with Arts and Humanities, the AR points account for 60% of the total points, ER 20%, Research citations per paper 10% and the total number of cited articles accounts for 10%. For Engineering & Technology, the weighting is 40% - 30% - 15% - 15% respectively. This means QS's ranking criteria emphasize the contribution and impact of the training quality of a discipline on society (through the assessment of enterprises and academics) and those to scientific research (via citation levels and H-index)

2019 marks the first year HUST ever entered QS WUR by Subject by having 03 subjects that have been ranked No.1 among Vietnamese higher education institutions. The group of Electrical & Electronics is ranked 401-450; Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing is ranked 451-500; and Computer Science & Information Systems is ranked 501-550. Specifically, the Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing group has the ER point of 61.3 (over 100 points); Electrical & Electronics has 61.9 ER points, and Computer Science & Information Systems has 56.3 ER points. Thus, besides training, scientific research and knowledge transfer, HUST has affirmed its quality of training through prestige with employers, while showing its impact on society through the evaluation of academics and publication of research results.
