Griffith University’s commitment to teaching and student education has been acknowledged in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings by Subject 2026, with business and economics jumping closer to the top 100 in the world.
Business and Economics improved on its 2025 ranking of 126-150 and has jumped to 101-125.
Dean (Sustainability and Rankings) Professor Jennifer Boddy was thrilled with the rankings, a credit to the University’s work following Griffith Business School’s (GBS) global recognition of an EQUIS accreditation in 2024, which placed GBS amongst the top one per cent of business schools in the world.
“The THE rankings signifies to the world our reputation as a leading institute not just for business, but also across a raft of subjects, exemplifying Griffith’s commitment to making it matter,” Professor Boddy said.
Alongside Business and Economics, Griffith also saw four other subjects improve their global rankings.
Physical sciences was now in the top 201-250 in the world, and Social Sciences saw a jump to the 126-150 bracket.
Arts and Humanities was ranked 251-300, an improvement on its 2025 ranking of 301-400.
Computer science also improved on last year’s result with a 2026 ranking of 176-200.
