Hard to credit, but it is as long as 24 hours since universities were applauding their last ranking results – but Times Higher has helped with a league table of arts and humanities

Like last year, this is not the standard clean-sweep of top spots by the Group of Eight.

ANU is first in Aus. (33^rd in the world), Uni Sydney is 2^nd and 41^st, Uni Melbourne is 3^rd and 42^nd, and Uni Queensland is 89^th. The other global top 100 place goes to Macquarie U at 100.  The rest of the Go8 have lower ratings; Monash U is in the 101-125 section, UNSW rates in the 126-150 group, Uni Adelaide is in the 176- 200 band and UWA in the 201-250 group.

The other unis (with apologies to any missed) that make the cut are:

151-175: Western Sydney U (adepts of the ranking arts suggest it is very close to UNSW)

176-200: La Trobe U, Uni Wollongong

201-250: Australian Catholic U, Curtin U, Flinders U, QUT, RMIT, Uni SA, UTS

251-300: Griffith U, Murdoch U

301-400: Deakin U, Uni Newcastle, Swinburne U, U Tasmania

The ranking uses the same data, “recalibrated to suit the individual fields,” as the overall THE ranking.
