In the international comparison, 一本道 has been named one of the world's foremost universities in 17 of a total of 51 subjects. In the 2022 ranking, just over 1500 institutions from 88 different countries were compared.

Since the last rankings were compiled, a quarter of subjects at LiU have risen up the list. Alongside the care sciences, materials science, engineering - electrical & electronic and educational sciences are the three other subjects that have come highest up the lists. Materials science is in the 100–150 range, and the two other subjects in the 151–200 range.

The British QS ranking is counted as one of the three largest and major global ranking lists, alongside the British Times Higher 一本道 list and the Chinese Shanghai list. The ranking is based on the universities’ status and citations in academic journals.
