The three were: Civil and Structural Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Subjects 2019 World Ranking Position
Civil and Structural Engineering 2nd
Chemical Engineering 7th
Electrical and Electronic Engineering 9th

NUS also ranks 8th in the overall Engineering and Technology category.

The QS rankings examined higher education performance at more than 1,200 universities from 78 locations, which were then categorised into 48 subject tables and five broad disciplinary tables.

More than 83,000 academics and 42,000 employers were polled, and QS also looked at research data from 150 million citations in 22 million academic papers.

Institutions are assessed on four main indicators: Academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper and an H-Index - which assesses faculty researchers' productivity and impact.
