The Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences at King’s College London has retained its high-standing position of third place the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) for Dentistry & Oral Sciences.
King’s College London is the only European / UK institution to feature in the top 10 in this subject area, and the only one outside of the United States to have made the top 9 in the academic rankings.
Said Professor Mike Curtis, Executive Dean of the faculty:
“We are delighted to have maintained our position in the Academic Ranking of World Universities as one of the top 3 Dental Faculties globally and significantly, the highest ranked Faculty in Europe by some distance.
"Unlike many other global rankings, the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects are based upon the views of our academic peers across the world. Our achievement is therefore true testament to the standing in which we are held in by the global dental community.
“As ever, I wish to give huge thanks and congratulations to all of our staff, students, alumni and NHS partners who collectively make our faculty a world leading organisation," said Professor Curtis.
