If you want to study civil engineering, psychology or agriculture, you're in luck: New Zealand is home to the 19th best university in the world for each of those subjects.
Canterbury University is the 19th best university worldwide for studying civil engineering, while Otago University scored the same ranking for psychology, according to QS World University Rankings.
Massey University also took out lucky number 19 for agriculture.
Overall, Auckland University is our best performing university, scoring a place in the top 50 for politics, law, education, psychology, linguistics, English, pharmacy and pharmacology, modern languages and biological sciences.
But New Zealand universities are falling behind in science, technology, engineering and maths, known as STEM subjects, as universities in Asia ramp up the competition.
"New Zealand's comparatively weak performance across the STEM disciplines shows the extent to which Asian investment is ramping up the global competition in this high-impact field," QS head of research Ben Sowter said.
Ten of the top 30 institutions for chemical, civil and electrical engineering are in Asia and National University of Singapore made the top 10 for all five of the engineering and technology disciplines.
Harvard remains the best all-round institution, ranking first globally in 11 of the 30 disciplines, two more than neighbouring rival, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
