St Andrews No.1 for Art History - again!

The School of Art History has achieved first place in the History of Art, Architecture and design subject area league table in The Times and The Sunday Times University Rankings 2026.

The University of St Andrews "scores highly for the calibre and consistency of the student experience and its research quality.”

Dr Luke Gartlan, Head of the School of Art History, responded to this result: “To be recognised as the top art history department in the UK by two league tables in a week — the Guardian University Guide 2026 and now The Times and Sunday Times University Rankings 2026 — is a tremendous honour. It testifies to the core educational values and dedication that we seek to promote in our entire community.”
