　　Key Facts – China

　　关键点—中国

　　· Peking University has more top-50 departments than any other Mainland Chinese university: 28. It is followed by Tsinghua University, which has 22 top-50 departments; Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which have 10 top-50 departments each; and Zhejiang University, which has 5 top-50 departments;

　　· Tsinghua University’s Civil & Structural Engineering department is Mainland China’s strongest subject offering, relative to global competitors. It ranks 9th globally. Also achieving a top-10 rank are Tsinghua University’s Architecture/Built Environment offering (10th globally) and Peking University’s Modern Languages department, which ranks 10th in the world;

　　· In total, 651 departments across 76 Chinese universities are ranked. 253 improve their rank, while only 102 see their rank decline. 185 departments remain stable in rank. These results constitute overall progress for the Mainland Chinese higher education system once more;

　　· However, Mainland China’s universities have also lost representation at the very top of the rankings. There is one fewer Mainland Chinese university among the top-10 of the 48 subject tables, and three fewer Mainland Chinese universities among the top-20;

　　· In Asia, Singapore remains dominant at the very top of the rankings, with 14 departments among the top 10 of the 48 subject tables.

　　· 北京大学有28个专业位列世界前50名，为中国大陆第一。清华大学紧随其后，拥有22个世界前50名的专业。复旦大学和上海交通大学分别拥有10个前50名专业和5个前50名专业;

　　· 清华大学土木与结构工程系是中国大陆表现最好的科系，全球排名第9。清华大学的建筑/建筑环境专业和北京大学的现代语言学都排名世界前十位(全球排名第10名);

　　· 总共有76个中国大学的651个科系被纳入了此次排名。 253个科系排名较去年提高，102个科系排名下降。 185个科系排名保持稳定。这些结果再次显示了中国大陆高等教育系统的整体发展;

　　· 然而，中国大陆大学专业排名也失去了其去年的最好排位。在48个学科排名表中排名前10位的中国大陆少了一所，学科排名前20名的中国大陆大学中数量也减少了3所;

　　在亚洲，新加坡的大学仍处于领先地位，有14个学科在48个学科排名表中位列世界前10名。
