King's retains top ten position for dentistry
According to global higher education analysts QS in their latest World University Rankings by Subject.
King’s College London holds steady its position as the 9th top university for dentistry according to the 2023 instalment of the QS World University Rankings by Subject, indeed the only University from the UK to feature in the top 10.
The QS World University rankings by Subject is an extensive overview of international higher education performance, by global higher education analysts QS Quacquarelli Symonds.
As the top British University for dentistry, the data provides students, policymakers, academic administrators, faculty, and employers with insight into institutional performance.
The methodology is comprised of an overall score and four key indicators: Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations Per Paper and H-Index (the average productivity/impact per scholar).
The individual scores for the indicators are as follows:
- Academic Reputation 73.6
- Employer Reputation 75.8
- Citations per paper 80.7
- H Index 85.6
These results show the strength of our research, also mirrored in the latest REF results. However, we must remember these rankings are limited to research in the subject of dentistry, while our research goes further; from dental and oral to the craniofacial sciences.

The faculty aims to build on these results and ensure an upwards trend over the coming years.
