The table shows how many universities in five countries are ranked in the top 200 worldwide based on three subjects in 2011.
Overall, the US had far more universities in all listed subjects compared to other countries’ educational institutions. It is also clear that while Australia and Canada have somewhat the same numbers of universities, New Zealand trailed behind in those 3 fields.
Starting with biology, it was the US that had more than double the schools (69) than the UK, which amounted to 28. The remaining three countries have fewer than ten colleges, with Canada and Australia each having nine, while New Zealand had only six universities.
Similarly, the US led in medicine, with 54 schools, compared to the UK with 30 colleges in this subject. There were 13 and 12 educational institutions in Canada and Australia, while only 2 universities were in operation in New Zealand.
Finally, the US had twice as many psychology universities as the UK (58 versus 29), which was followed by Australia, with 17 colleges. Although psychology was popular in Canada, with 14 universities operating in 2011, it had 10 more schools than New Zealand in this subject.
