QS, the education network giant, which produces the most widely read university rankings in the world, ranked the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment its global number one<\/a> for architecture and built environment studies.<\/p>\n

The Bartlett also took the top spot for the category in 2024 and 2023.<\/p>\n

QS ranks universities according to academic reputation, employer reputation and research impact, using surveys, analysis of citations and the impact of published work. This year\u2019s table included more than 250 institutions.<\/p>\n

The Bartlett, which teaches more than 4,000 students each year across 13 schools and institutions<\/a>, was given an overall score of 97.7 out of 100 (creeping up 0.3 since last year), and an employer reputation of 92.6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The school has climbed up the rankings since 2022, when it ranked second to Delft University of Technology. This was the same year a damning report on the Bartlett uncovered decades of bullying and \u2018serious misconduct\u2019.<\/p>\n

Responding to the 2025 league position<\/a>, the school\u2019s dean, Jacqui Glass, said: \u2018I\u2019m so proud to be a part of such a special, diverse and vibrant community at the Bartlett.\u2019<\/p>\n

Thanking the \u2018outstanding dedication and support\u2019 of staff, students and partners, Glass added: \u2018It is wonderful to see our work recognised internationally in this year\u2019s QS global ranking and we look forward to another strong and vibrant year ahead.\u2019<\/p>\n

The London university was closely followed in the global rankings<\/a> by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with an overall score of 96.2 and employability score of 95.1.<\/p>\n

Manchester School of Architecture also made the top 10, coming fifth with an overall score of 92.7, and an employer reputation of 88.4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands was ranked third, while ETH Zurich, in Switzerland, was ranked fourth.<\/p>\n

There were no new entrants in this year\u2019s top 10 universities for architecture and built environment, with Tsinghua University the only one of those 10 institutions to improve its rank since last year (up from eighth to joint seventh).<\/p>\n

Also in the top 10 were Harvard University in Cambridge, US (sixth), the National University of Singapore (seventh), the University of California in Berkeley (ninth), US, and Politecnico di Milano in Italy (tenth).<\/p>\n

Aside from UCL and Manchester, the University of Cambridge <\/span>was the only other UK university to be named within QS\u2019s world top 20.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cambridge, which has previously been in the top 10, was this year ranked 12th with an overall score of 84.1 and an employer reputation of 96.1. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
