WKWSCI Continues Strong Global Standing in QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026

The Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, continues to affirm its position among leading institutions in the 2026 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject.  

WKWSCI is ranked:  
  • 2nd in the world for Communication & Media Studies, rising from 4th in 2025  
  • 5th in the world for Library & Information Management  
The QS World University Rankings assess universities based on indicators such as academic reputation, employer reputation, research impact, teaching quality, and international collaboration. 

Professor Jack Qiu, Chair of WKWSCI, said, “WKWSCI’s global standing reflects the strength of our integrated approach, combining academic rigour, industry relevance, and global engagement. We aim to develop graduates who are not only theoretically grounded, but also equipped to practise and lead in an increasingly complex media and information landscape.” 

WKWSCI’s programmes span both communication and information disciplines, integrating theory with practice while responding to developments in media, data, and technology. Students learn to use emerging tools such as AI critically, developing independent judgement and a clear sense of their own voice. 

Beyond the classroom, students gain international exposure and industry experience, working in diverse, real-world contexts that build resilience. They are guided by faculty whose research is widely used by the global academic community and shapes key conversations in the field.

Graduates are known for their adaptability and clarity of perspective in a fast-changing environment, working across sectors including media, technology, communications, and the public sector. WKWSCI will continue to deepen its impact through research, education, and alumni, with a focus on contributing beyond academia.
