All the universities featured in this ranking cover four or more broad subjects out of arts and humanities, engineering and technology, medicine, life sciences, physical sciences and social sciences. Representing 10 different countries in Europe, Asia and the United States, these are the best “tiny” universities, according to the magazine.
