It is hard to detect improvements and otherwise outside the top 100, with THE grouping institutions in bands of 25, 50 and 100 so a change could be a one-place improvement, or 99.

The same 13 performance indicators in five areas are used for these subject rankings as for the THE institution-rankings (teaching, research volume, research citation, “international outlook” and industry income. THE says they are “carefully recalibrated” for each subject.
