2015/2016年度THE世界大学排名之专业排名：社会科学

近日，THE世界大学排名公布了2015/2016年的专业排名。social sciences（社会科学）的榜单中，美国和英国又一次取得了胜利。

美国和英国在社会科学专业排名榜单上优胜被认为是一个警告，它告诫制定政策的人应注意到社会科学学科的资金扶持问题。

James Wilsdon便抱有这样的看法。作为苏塞克斯大学SPRU（Science Policy Research Unit）的科学与民主专业教授，他认为这样的领先优势一旦失去了国家的政策资金扶持，将无法继续保持。

在这次的榜单中，美国拥有43所院校进入前百名，并占据了前十名中的9席，麻省理工大学获得榜首。以牛津大学为首的英国院校则入围17所，其中牛津大学位列第四名，伦敦国王学院与爱丁堡大学分别进入了TOP20与TOP30。

Wilsdon教授认为，这样的结果将导致美国国会削减对社会学与社会行为学的资金支持比例。“如果我是美国的决策者，我会将它看做是一个重大警告。”

他还说，这个排名及时提醒英国政府注意他们将在近期提出的预算审查，尽管科学、技术、工程、数学等学科“依然是代表英国科学的主体”，社会科学同样是“英国的力量”。

与此同时，北欧国家丹麦、瑞典、挪威、芬兰，都实现了在榜单上的首次亮相。这个变化一方面是由于排名调查方法的改变，一方面也是因为这些国家在社会科学研究的方面有了显著进步。

排在前十名的学校分别是：麻省理工大学（美国）、斯坦福大学（美国）、普林斯顿大学（美国）、牛津大学（英国）、耶鲁大学（美国）、哈佛大学（美国）、芝加哥大学（美国）、宾夕法尼亚大学（美国）、密歇根大学（美国）、加州大学伯克利分校（美国）。完整表单如下：
