QS World University Rankings 2026

25 Mar 2026

The School of Nursing and Midwifery is proud to be ranked 25th in the world in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. 

This recognition reflects not only the quality of our teaching and research, the passion and dedication of our staff, but the strength of the partnerships that underpin our practices.

We acknowledge the centrality of collaboration as key to this achievement. Staff at the School of Nursing and Midwifery and clinical partners work together to shape programmes that are responsive, evidence-based, and grounded in real-world practice. Through this shared effort, we create learning environments that prepare graduates to think critically, act compassionately, and lead with confidence in diverse, complex healthcare settings.

Innovation is central to our identity. From curriculum design to research that addresses contemporary healthcare challenges, we are committed to advancing knowledge and enhancing care. Our work is informed by local/regional needs but contributes to global conversations on nursing and midwifery practice, education, and policy. Our strong relationships with healthcare services across the region ensure that our research translates into meaningful improvements in patient, client, and service user care. It is this foundation that has enabled our growth and recognition on an international stage.

Our current position reflects a decade of sustained progress, with the School rising 25 places in the QS World University Rankings. We want to extend our gratitude to all our national and international collaborators for supporting us in this achievement.
