Ihre besten Platzierungen in Deutschland erreichte die Universität in den Fächern „Social Policy & Administration“ (Rang 3), „Communication & Media Studies“ (Rang 4) und „Law“ (Rang 4). Der Bereich „Physics & Astronomy“ belegt im Bundesvergleich Rang 6 und international sogar einen Top 50-Platz: Rang 45.

„Das neue QS Subject Ranking zeigt ein weiteres Mal den anhaltenden Aufwärtstrend unserer Universität. Das ist das Resultat der Anstrengungen unserer Mitglieder, wofür ihnen zu danken ist“, so Universitätspräsident Prof. Dr. Dieter Lenzen.

Das "QS World University Rankings by Subject" wird jährlich online veröffentlicht und bezieht Reputationsumfragen sowie bibliometrische Analysen mit in die Benotung ein. Die Universität Hamburg hat bereits in den vergangenen Jahren in verschiedenen Rankings ihre Rangposition verbessern können: Im CWTS Leiden Ranking steigerte sich die UHH von 2012 bis 2015 von Platz 29 auf 16. Das von Thomson Reuters erstellte US News Ranking platziert die Universität Hamburg seit zwei Jahren auf Rang 7.
