Shanghai’s "by subject" ranking covers 54 disciplines, categorised into five major fields: natural sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences.

KEDGE is ranked 2nd among French schools in the Business Administration category and in the Top 100 worldwide. KEDGE is also ranked 8th in the Management category and in the Top 300 worldwide.
