Biological Sciences 2018

While the top five universities in this year’s biological sciences ranking remains unchanged, the big news further down the top 10 is the rise of Johns Hopkins University, up twelve places to 10th. No other university in the top 50 has made such a big improvement.

Johns Hopkins is one of eight US universities in the top 10, with the remaining two both being UK institutions. Despite this lack of geographical diversity at the top of the table, there are 46 different countries included this year.
