In late January 2026, Times Higher Education has announced the results of the latest edition of the World University Rankings by Subject. Similarly to previous years, the Jagiellonian University was included in ten out of eleven categories. Once again, it proved to be the strongest in the field of legal sciences, in which it was placed in the 126-150 bracket.
This year's edition of the ranking includes 817 universities from 74 countries. Exact places are awarded only to the first hundred, the remaining participants are placed in brackets ranging from several to several dozen institutions. The Jagiellonian University was classified in ten out of eleven categories (excluding Engineering):
- Arts and Humanities: 251–300 bracket,
- Business and Economics: 501–600 bracket,
- Clinical and Health: 501–600 bracket,
- Computer Science: 801–1,000 bracket,
- Education: 301–400 bracket
- Law: 126–150 bracket,
- Life Sciences: 501–600 bracket,
- Physical Sciences: 601–800 bracket,

THE World University Ranking by Subject is based on the same criteria as the more general THE World University Ranking, but it takes into account achievements in disciplines relevant to each of the eleven fields. Institutions are assessed based on 18 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across five areas: teaching (learning environment), research environment (size, research revenues and reputation), research quality (citation impact, research strength), industry (knowledge transfer, industrial revenues and patents, and international outlook (staff, students and research).
