2015/2016年度THE世界大學(xué)排名之專業(yè)排名：社會科學(xué)

近日，THE世界大學(xué)排名公布了2015/2016年的專業(yè)排名。social sciences（社會科學(xué)）的榜單中，美國和英國又一次取得了勝利。

美國和英國在社會科學(xué)專業(yè)排名榜單上優(yōu)勝被認(rèn)為是一個警告，它告誡制定政策的人應(yīng)注意到社會科學(xué)學(xué)科的資金扶持問題。

James Wilsdon便抱有這樣的看法。作為蘇塞克斯大學(xué)SPRU（Science Policy Research Unit）的科學(xué)與民主專業(yè)教授，他認(rèn)為這樣的領(lǐng)先優(yōu)勢一旦失去了國家的政策資金扶持，將無法繼續(xù)保持。

在這次的榜單中，美國擁有43所院校進(jìn)入前百名，并占據(jù)了前十名中的9席，麻省理工大學(xué)獲得榜首。以牛津大學(xué)為首的英國院校則入圍17所，其中牛津大學(xué)位列第四名，倫敦國王學(xué)院與愛丁堡大學(xué)分別進(jìn)入了TOP20與TOP30。

Wilsdon教授認(rèn)為，這樣的結(jié)果將導(dǎo)致美國國會削減對社會學(xué)與社會行為學(xué)的資金支持比例。“如果我是美國的決策者，我會將它看做是一個重大警告。”

他還說，這個排名及時提醒英國政府注意他們將在近期提出的預(yù)算審查，盡管科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程、數(shù)學(xué)等學(xué)科“依然是代表英國科學(xué)的主體”，社會科學(xué)同樣是“英國的力量”。

與此同時，北歐國家丹麥、瑞典、挪威、芬蘭，都實現(xiàn)了在榜單上的首次亮相。這個變化一方面是由于排名調(diào)查方法的改變，一方面也是因為這些國家在社會科學(xué)研究的方面有了顯著進(jìn)步。

排在前十名的學(xué)校分別是：麻省理工大學(xué)（美國）、斯坦福大學(xué)（美國）、普林斯頓大學(xué)（美國）、牛津大學(xué)（英國）、耶魯大學(xué)（美國）、哈佛大學(xué)（美國）、芝加哥大學(xué)（美國）、賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)（美國）、密歇根大學(xué)（美國）、加州大學(xué)伯克利分校（美國）。完整表單如下：
