The QS subject rankings cover a total of 51 disciplines, as well as five broad subject areas of Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Life Sciences and Medicine, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and Management.

“Since 1991 ACU has dedicated itself to the pursuit of truth, dignity of the human person and the common good, and our 2022 rankings is evidence of this commitment,” Professor Skrbis said.
“I particularly congratulate our researchers and academics in ACU’s Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry and the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy for leading Australia’s contribution to the study of theology and religion in such a way that we are Australia’s highest ranked university in the subject area.
“One of the key responsibilities of a Catholic university is to contribute to religious scholarship.
