Sydney Law School #13 in the world in QS world subject rankings

For the second year running, Sydney Law School has been ranked 13^th in the world by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) rankings by subject or discipline.

While Sydney Law School received an overall score of 85.5 and performed highly in terms of academic reputation, our score of 94.8 for employer reputation resulted in a ranking of equal fourth in the world, following Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge, institutions with which we share strategic partnerships.

"This is a tremendous result and reflects the world-class standard of our teaching and research," said the Dean, Professor Joellen Riley.

"It also places Sydney Law School as one of the University's top-performing faculties.

"Students, staff, alumni and donors can all be equally proud of this result."

In an indication of the intense competition between Law Schools across the globe, Sydney Law School's score was a two-point improvement on last year's result, despite the fact that it maintained its ranking.
