Watch and Learn: The 100+ Best Educational YouTube Channels in 2023

C.I.G. is supported in part by its readers. If you buy through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read more here.

If you’re like a lot of people, you probably use YouTube for listening to music, watching videos of cute animals, or just for procrastinating on homework.

While it is a platform for all of those things, there’s a whole other side to YouTube you may have never considered. YouTube has hundreds of channels that can teach you any subject you could ever think of (as well as dozens you didn’t even know existed).

With hundreds of hours of video uploaded every minute, however, it can be difficult to sort out the helpful, quality channels from the useless ones.

That’s why we’ve created this guide, which covers the 100+ best educational YouTube channels currently in existence. You’ll find videos on everything from music theory to weird geography facts to how to succeed in business (the hard, effective way).

To be quite honest, the right mix of these YouTube channels might be able to teach you more than you could ever learn in college. At the least, many of these channels can serve as useful supplements to the classes you are taking. If you’re not a student, you can still get a lot of value out of watching these, as they can help you to never stop learning .

Studying and Learning

This is a college blog, after all, so it makes sense to start with some channels that will help you improve your study skills. Some of these channels focus on specific study techniques, while others will guide you through specific subjects.

If you’re looking for advice on school supplies, organization, or just what the academic side of college is like, then check out this channel from current college student Sareena.

Easy Languages

Most language courses are boring, formulaic, and unrealistic. Easy Languages is the opposite — each video teaches you vocabulary, grammar, or concepts in a language using real conversations with people on the streets.

They have videos for just about every language you can think of, and they add new content regularly. If you’re trying to learn a language , this is an essential resource.

Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank makes videos that help you be more productive – whether you’re in high school, college, university, or the real world.

This includes study tips to help you learn faster and ace your exams, advice on destroying procrastination, reading and note-taking strategies, and more.

Want to get a philosophy degree for free? Then watch Philosophy Tube, which shows you how to use philosophy to make sense of current events and life’s big questions.

Ali Abadaal is a junior doctor in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). He vlogs about life as a doctor, as well as about how to study more effectively.

Jess graduated top of her class with a psychology degree, and now she’s created this channel to help you get motivated and stay organized. While there are lots of videos for college students, there’s also plenty aimed at high school students or even people who are out of college.

Mariana is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in International Law, and in her spare time, she works on this channel, which focuses helping you stay organized and study smarter (while also giving some sweet writing material recommendations).

Struggling with a particular academic subject? Want to learn a new subject on your own? Crash Course can help. They have courses on physics, philosophy, games, economics, U.S. government and politics, astronomy, anatomy & physiology, world history, biology, sociology, computer science, film history, mythology, literature, ecology, chemistry, psychology, and U.S. history.

You’ll never have an excuse to say “I’m bored” again.

Unless you’re an engineer, you probably think of engineering as a boring, complex topic that only the gifted few can understand. Practical Engineering, however, will show you just how interesting and important engineering is.

And unlike lots of channels that just show video footage or animations to explain a topic, Practical Engineering uses real scale models and at-home examples to demonstrate engineering concepts. At the very least, this channel will give you a deeper appreciation for all the thought that goes into engineering everyday things.

Medlife Crisis aims to give you accurate, research-backed information about science and medicine. The host is cardiologist, internal medicine doctor, and university researcher, so you can bet the information will be high-quality.

• Types of educational videos you can create, with what video-making techniques
• What educational video software works best for your needs

What are educational videos?

Educational videos educate people on any topic under the sun, using information transfer and retention techniques.

People turn to video education when they need:

• Clarification or explanations: For example, how-to videos teach you how to do a specific task. On the other hand, explainer step-by-step videos or instructional videos are more likely to detail how a procedure or concept works (e.g. how Blockchain works). 
• Demonstration : For example, video tutorials teach viewers how to perform specific actions, often via screen recordings or live demos.
• Educational context-setting stories : Documentary or scenario-based videos teach you about a topic through real-life stories from the past.
• External expertise: Lecture videos are live events where subject matter experts engagingly share their knowledge.

Educational videos of all types are incredibly popular. Check out this graph with the 10 most popular videos watched online. 👇

While education takes the 7th spot, educational videos can also be found in tutorial videos, product review videos, and even video live streams.

The internet is a gushing firehose of educational content — the e-learning market has nearly doubled in the past decade!

5 best techniques for engaging educational videos

You can make an educational video clip using a wide range of video-making techniques:

1. Presenter-led video narration , with an on-screen instructor that guides the audience on the topic they teach.

2. Live demonstration , with an instructor doing a live demonstration of the subject they teach while filmed from different angles.

3. 2D vector animation , with animated cartoony characters acting in a simplistic story that teaches or educates the viewer.

4. Whiteboard animation , with 2D drawings that simulate an artist drawing the scenes you discuss in the video.

Great software for educational videos

How you make your educational video clip depends on:

• What you want to teach.
• Where you’ll share your content.
• What tools you can use.
• How much time you’ve got.

Below we’ve paired a few scenarios with educational software options for you to consider. Just scroll to the one that matches your current situation to find the ideal software. 🧐

• Scenario #1: You want to start filming fast and preferably today. 
• Scenario #2: You want to leverage existing content.
• Scenario #3: You want to create interactive content.
• Scenario #4: You want to create animated videos.
• Scenario #5: You want to go all in and create sophisticated videos that “wow.”

Scenario #1: You want to start filming fast and preferably today

Best when… You have minimal or no video creation knowledge and very little time to learn. You want to make outstanding video content from the material and resources you have easily at hand.

👉 In this scenario, it’s easiest to create presenter-led educational videos. Record yourself or combine pictures with video clips and animate them within video creation and editing software.

Option #1. Use screencast software

Software like Loom , Snagit , or ScreenRec lets you share your screen and teach your audience by narrating what you perform on the screen. Such software often comes with free versions and can even record your webcam so you show your face in the video. This is a basic solution, and if you’re making professional-grade videos, we recommend checking out option #2 instead. 

Option #2. Use a basic video maker

Video makers have readymade video templates that can seriously fast-track your process. You select a template, fill in the placeholders with visuals — stock images, your images, video clips, or screen recordings — and you have a video. 

Your best software choice here is an AI-powered video maker like Synthesia. On top of templates and stock media, you get AI video presenters that look like real humans, talking in various languages. Here’s how it works:

Scenario #2: You want to leverage existing content

Best when… You’re deeply involved in education as a teacher, trainer, or subject matter expert. 

You regularly perform lectures, live presentations, or webinars and look for ways to make it more engaging. Or you want to turn existing lengthy videos into evergreen, short, easy-to-access educational videos.

👉 In this scenario, it’s easiest to create video lectures. Explore dedicated or more general software with options to make recorded lectures more interactive.

Option #1. Use advanced software for live streaming and screencasting

OBS Studio is excellent for live streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook Live, capturing and broadcasting from webcams, microphones, desktop screens, and media files. It can also record tutorials, webinars, and content that require screen capture.

Option #2: Use tried and tested video-makers 

Software like Synthesia or Movavi helps you edit and jazz up your recorded lectures. You’ll have plenty of video creation tools to help you make long lectures more engaging in a digital format. Check out this extensive guide with pros and cons for the 10 best video lecture software options.  

Option #3. Use advanced effects software

Adobe After Effects creates stunning visual effects and motion graphics that make any video stand out. Professional video editors love the ability to manipulate visual elements and refine a video with features such as masking, keying, tracking, and advanced compositing techniques.

Scenario #3: You want to create interactive experiences

Best when… You’re committed to making learning an active experience. You want to create learning scenarios with your audience involved and capable of changing how the content evolves.

👉 In this scenario, it’s best to focus on creating interactions: Explore dedicated educational platforms or video makers with interactive features.

Option #1. Use interactive educational video creation platforms

Platforms like Echo360 and YuJa are more advanced, offer complex tools, and particularly cater to the needs of educational institutions. While they include tools to make videos, the focus is more on video management features such as adding interactive elements, allowing student comments, and managing access to a larger audience. 

Option #2. Use animation software with interactive features

Software like PlayPosit makes the creation of interactive videos more accessible. It facilitates a series of “interactions” and activities for learners that you can place on different online platforms. And it even lets you create interactive lessons from YouTube videos or other online videos containing relevant content for your audience.

These interactions are quizzes, open-ended questions, and even branching scenarios that ask your audience to pick from multiple options and take them to different learning content based on their choice.

Scenario #4: You want to create animated videos

Best when… You’re willing to study some more advanced video creation software to achieve a specific visual look.

👉 In this scenario, it’s easiest to create whiteboard presentations or animated lessons enriched with interactions. Use software for digital whiteboard presentations or interactivity elements like quizzes and branching scenarios.

Option #1: Use whiteboard animation software

Software like Explain Everything is versatile and offers many visual effects. It acts like an in-cloud whiteboard, you can access it from a PC or directly from your mobile, and you can quickly craft engaging lessons to share with your learners.

Option #2: Use beginner-friendly animation software

Software like Powtoon offers a user-friendly interface and a wide range of customizable templates and characters that you can easily animate. It makes creating animated educational videos simpler, less intimidating, and more enjoyable.

Scenario #5: You want to go all in and create sophisticated videos that “wow”

Best when… You’ve been staring in awe at the coolest animated educational videos out there for a while. You’re ready for a steep learning curve and willing to be a serious student.

👉 In this scenario, it’s easiest to focus on making more complex videos using the most advanced techniques . Consider learning to use high-level software for jaw-dropping animations and other video creation techniques.

Option #1. Use advanced software for interactive e-learning and software simulations

Adobe Captivate provides interactivity, assessments, and adaptive learning capabilities. It supports screen recording for making engaging interactive videos and software simulations or demonstrations.

The 7-step process of how to make an educational video

An all-in-one video maker like Synthesia with built-in media and video templates library is the simplest solution from all these options.

Here’s a 7-step outline of how to use such software to make an educational video.

Step #1: Get clear on your audience, goals, and outcome-measuring

Clarify your audience:

• Whom you’re teaching.
• What they already know.
• Why they’re watching videos.
• What they need to learn new from you.

Decide on your goals:

• What do you want to teach? Do you present notions or concepts, do you teach a hard or a soft skill, do you demonstrate some action?
• What video structure do you want to use?  
• • One key topic with 3 supporting elements like data, stories, or examples?
• • Or 3 key topics, each one with its own supporting element?
• What type of video will you create? How-to, explainer, tutorial, instructional, documentary, or video lecture?
• What video creation technique will you use? Presenter-led, live demo, 2D vector animation, whiteboard animation, motion graphics, or slideshow presentation?

Establish how you’ll measure success:

• What makes a good educational video, in your opinion?
• What feedback mechanisms can you insert in the video to ease information transfer and retention?
• What will you ask your audience to do at the end of the video?

Step #2: Draft a script for your educational video template

Your script outlines what your video will show, in each scene, in terms of visuals and narration. 

When someone reads your script, they should be able to picture the future video in their head based exclusively on what the script details.

Use this step-by-step guide to write your video script draft. You’ll get expert tips and a template you can customize right away.

Step #3: Prepare your materials and create or source visuals

Go through each visual outlined in the script to determine if you’ll take it from a stock media library or if you’ll film it yourself:

• Browse online libraries like Shutterstock or Pixabay, find your visuals, download them, and save them in folders for easy access if you decide to illustrate your video using only stock footage.
• Do the screen recording with your chosen recorder if your video requires a demonstration on your computer screen.
• Create footage by filming in a studio or in a different location if your video requires creating visuals from scratch.

Step #4: Record the narration for your educational video

There are three key ways to get narration for your video: 

• Hire a professional voice actor. 
• Record your own voice-over (might require extra recording equipment) 
• Use built-in text-to-speech technology to generate a professional-sounding acting voice (a standard feature of video makers like Synthesia).

Each option has pros and cons, but ultimately, it’s down to the resources you have at hand. If you're low on resources like time and budget, the last option - text-to-speech - is the best option. Here's why:

Step #5: Edit, polish, and enrich your video with accessibility elements

Use the video editor to make every element look flawless and fall at the right place in your video:

• Trim and arrange images and video clips.
• Add visual effects or motion graphics from the software’s library.
• Remove background noises or adjust audio levels.
• Add background music or audio effects if you want.
• Add text captions and overlays.
• Check color contrasts and font size to make it more accessible .
• Add branding elements like a logo or tagline.

Step #6: Generate your video and share it with your audience

And you’re done! Your video is ready to share with stakeholders for feedback or directly with your audience.  

Remember, most video editing software also provides a link you can embed on a website or share online. This can be particularly useful because it automatically collects analytics on your video, such as views and watch time. 

To maximize your potential reach and ROI , consider sharing videos on three or more of the following channels:

• Popular video-sharing platforms like YouTube and Vimeo
• Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram
• Educational websites, your company or school’s websites, or even blogs relevant to your topic
• Professional networks like LinkedIn
• Dedicated online learning platforms like Teachable 
• Online or offline communities where your target audience is likely to be active

4 production hacks that’ll help you make more effective and engaging videos

Our brains evolved to stay vigilant in a constantly changing world. That’s why:

• We have a natural curiosity.
• We impulsively seek novelty.
• We have the urge to explore.
• We’re rewarded for our curiosity with dopamine . 

Feel-good chemicals flood our brains every time we learn something new or successfully complete a learning task.

Yet our brains are also always looking for shortcuts and ways to do everything with less effort. Some call it laziness, but it’s an evolutionary tactic to preserve energy. 

Lazy is efficient.

Plan your educational video with these brain-friendly production hacks in mind:

1. Make your videos snackable

The brain processes information and retains it better if it’s chunked into manageable, logically-organized segments. Consider the ideal video length as soon as you start planning your video script.

Break down complex information into smaller, bite-sized videos of up to 3 minutes. Your audience will feel less overwhelmed, more capable of staying focused, and more confident they can watch it all and learn from it.

2. Infuse emotions and tell relatable stories

Emotions enhance memory formation and information recall.

When planning your educational videos, think about using relatable scenarios and characters. Try to tell stories or give examples the viewer can easily understand, connect with, and stir positive emotions in their brains.

3. Tune your videos to the brain’s “dual coding” functioning

Dual coding is when the brain records audio and video stimuli through two different channels; it combines the information in both channels when interpreting and learning from it.

Combine visuals and narration smartly, especially to reinforce the key points in your educational video. Instead of visually representing the entire narration and tiring your audience, only pick the most important information and pair it with supporting visuals.

4. Use spaced repetition to reinforce learning

Repetition over time helps reinforce long-term memory.

Research shows that those who learn through spaced repetition, studying at specific intervals over time, will outperform 67% of those who learn by mass repetition, repeatedly reviewing information within a very short time.

Keep your educational video content focused on one big idea with small but effective supporting facts. Repeat and reinforce key concepts throughout the video, strategically spacing them out. And always do a recap before you make your call to action.

It’s here! Your cheat sheet for making videos in less than 30 minutes using AI

Educational video production can be straightforward — especially with  AI-powered tools in your back pocket.

Bolton College decided to try AI video production. That try led to creating over 400 videos for their online libraries with 80% time savings in video production processes.

Complete Solutions to Educational Videos

Together the sites above offer a few thousand free educational videos that are usable in the classroom. However, no one source or even a collection of many sources has everything a teacher needs to find all the videos they would use.

All a teacher can do is build a large list of trusted resources so the video search can go more smoothly and quickly. The internet provides a great and almost unlimited resource for teachers to tap into but it is filled with dangers around quality, inappropriate content, advertisement, and copyrights. In our recent  whitepaper , we found that 84% of teachers reported that they use YouTube and 61% of teachers actively search Google for websites to find the videos they need. Some teachers are also struggling to even access the internet with 30% of teachers reporting that their school blocks or limits access to certain websites.

Moreover, finding the time and effort to look for videos on top of the normal workload placed on teachers is high. Over 60% of teachers reported feeling frustrated sometimes in their search for the right educational videos. The hunt for a better solution to fix these issues and problems around educational videos will be a continual journey.

How to create engaging educational videos for youtube audiences.

Table of Contents

Educational YouTube videos are not just about conveying information; it’s about fostering a community of curious minds, sparking meaningful discussions, and driving positive change.

Educational videos on YouTube have transcended traditional classroom boundaries, providing an accessible platform for learning and knowledge dissemination. According to a report by Notta, 92% of people watch YouTube videos for information and knowledge .

This means that this platform is important for helping them understand the world. This highlights the significant role that YouTube plays in shaping the educational landscape and influencing public knowledge.

From understanding your audience to promoting your content, we’ll cover it all. So grab your notepad, because by the end of this journey, you’ll be armed with the tools and insights to create educational videos that leave a lasting impression.

Understanding Your Audience

Education in the digital age has taken on new forms, with YouTube emerging as a powerhouse for sharing knowledge and expertise. If you’re considering creating educational YouTube videos, understanding your target market is key to making an impact.

1. Define Your Niche

When defining your niche for educational YouTube videos, it’s essential to narrow down the focus of your content. Whether it’s teaching coding to beginners, explaining complex scientific concepts, or providing language learning tips, the more specific and focused your niche, the easier it is to attract and retain a dedicated audience.

Identifying a niche that aligns with your expertise and the needs of your audience is crucial. Consider what you’re passionate about and where your knowledge lies. This will not only make the content creation process more enjoyable for you but also ensure that you’re delivering valuable and credible information to your audience.

2. Understand Audience Demographics

To create engaging and relevant content, you need to have a deep understanding of your audience’s demographics. This includes knowing their age, gender, location, and interests. Utilize tools like YouTube Analytics to gather demographic data. Understanding the demographics of your audience can help tailor your content to their specific preferences, ensuring that it resonates with them on a deeper level.

Knowing the demographics of your audience is also vital for effective marketing strategies. For example, if your educational content is geared towards young adults, you might choose to promote it on platforms like Instagram or TikTok in addition to YouTube. Understanding your audience’s demographics allows you to meet them where they are.

3. Analyze Audience Behavior

Understanding how your target audience engages with educational content on YouTube is crucial for creating impactful videos. By analyzing popular video formats, preferred video length, and trending topics within your niche, you can tailor your content to match the preferences of your audience. For example, if you discover that your audience responds well to short, animated educational videos , you can adapt your production techniques accordingly.

Additionally, audience behavior can guide your video promotion strategies. If you notice that your audience engages more with certain types of content, you can prioritize promoting those videos on various platforms to reach a wider audience.

4. Identify Pain Points and Needs

Conducting surveys, polls, and analyzing comments can help you identify the common challenges and needs within your target market. Addressing these pain points in your educational videos not only provides valuable solutions to your audience but also builds trust and loyalty with your viewers. By demonstrating that you understand and care about your audience’s challenges, you can establish a deeper connection and foster a sense of community among your viewers.

5. Competitive Analysis

Researching other educational YouTube channels targeting a similar audience is essential for differentiation. Analyze their strengths, weaknesses, and content gaps to understand where you can offer a unique value proposition. Learn from successful channels while also focusing on what makes your content stand out. This doesn’t mean imitating others, but rather finding your unique voice and approach within the educational content landscape.

Content Calendar Planning for Your Educational YouTube Videos (Step-by-Step)

You’ve done your homework, and now you have a really deep understanding of your target audience. But when it comes to creating engaging and impactful educational content on YouTube, knowing who your audience is only half the battle. The other side of the coin — what your audience is looking for — can make all the difference in growing your channel and making a real difference in education.

1. Research and Brainstorming

When it comes to research and brainstorming for your educational YouTube videos, there are a few key steps to keep in mind.

Conduct Keyword Research : Start by conducting keyword research to identify trending topics in the educational niche. Tools like Google Trends, SEMrush, or Ahrefs can provide valuable insights into the most searched topics and queries within your educational niche. By understanding what people are actively searching for, you can tailor your content to meet those needs.

Brainstorm Video Ideas: Next, it’s time to brainstorm video ideas based on current events, educational trends, and audience feedback. Consider the burning questions your audience may have or the challenges they are facing in their educational journey. Addressing these in your videos can make your content more relevant and valuable to your viewers.

Collaborate with Fellow Educators : Collaborating with fellow educators or experts in your field can provide a fresh perspective and offer new content ideas and insights. Engaging with others in your niche can not only spark new ideas but also expand your reach through cross-promotion and shared expertise.

Remember, the goal of the brainstorming phase is to align your content with what your audience wants and needs. This will set the foundation for a successful content calendar.

2. Creating a Calendar

With a pool of exciting video ideas at your disposal, it’s time to create a content calendar that will guide your video production and release schedule.

Use a Digital Calendar or Content Planning Tool : Utilize a digital calendar or content planning tool to schedule your video topics and release dates. Platforms like Trello, Asana, or Google Calendar can help you visualize and organize your content schedule effectively.

Allocate Specific Dates and Time Slots : Allocate specific dates and time slots for filming, editing, and uploading your videos. This level of detail in scheduling will ensure that you stay on track and maintain a consistent upload schedule, which is crucial for audience engagement and channel growth.

Incorporate Flexibility : While planning is essential, it’s equally important to incorporate flexibility for timely content based on current educational developments. Leave room in your content calendar for relevant and timely topics that may arise unexpectedly.

3. Balance Content

When creating your content calendar, it’s important to strike a balance to cater to a diverse audience and keep them engaged.

Ensure a Mix of Topics : Ensure a mix of topics to cater to a diverse audience, including different subjects, learning levels, and teaching styles. This variety will appeal to a wider range of viewers and keep your content fresh and interesting.

Keep a Balance Between Evergreen and Trending Topics : Maintain a balance between evergreen content, which remains relevant over time, and trending, time-sensitive topics. This approach ensures that your channel remains a valuable resource in the long term while also capitalizing on current trends for increased visibility.

Utilize Seasonal or Academic Calendar Events: Take advantage of seasonal or academic calendar events to plan relevant videos. Aligning your content with significant events or milestones in the educational calendar can further enhance the relevance and impact of your videos.

A well-planned content calendar is the backbone of a successful educational YouTube channel. By conducting thorough research, brainstorming engaging ideas, and strategically scheduling your content, you can captivate your audience, establish your channel as a valuable resource, and make a meaningful impact in the world of education.

Scripting and Delivery

Crafting clear and concise scripts is the backbone of an engaging educational video. Your script should aim to encapsulate complex concepts in digestible segments, keeping the viewer hooked from start to finish. It’s no secret that effective storytelling has the power to captivate an audience. The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice underscores this , stating that storytelling enhances the overall persuasiveness of a message, leaving a lasting impact on the audience.

In addition to storytelling , incorporating real-world examples, case studies, and analogies breathes life into your content, making it relatable and engaging. Using an online teleprompter can aid in maintaining a smooth flow and rhythm in your delivery. Delivery is equally essential as well. Practicing effective delivery techniques, such as maintaining eye contact, varying vocal inflections, and pacing, combined with the assistance of an online teleprompter, can significantly impact audience engagement.

Production and Editing

Choosing the right filming locations and settings sets the stage for an immersive viewing experience. Whether it’s a classroom, a laboratory, or a natural setting, your backdrop should complement and enhance the educational content. Quality equipment for video and audio recording is non-negotiable. According to ITWeb , video accounted for 65.93% of internet traffic in the first half of 2022. This is a 24% increase from the first half of 2021.

Investing in quality equipment ensures that your content stands out amidst the digital noise. Utilizing a reliable video joiner allows you to merge different video segments seamlessly, enhancing the overall quality of your content. Post-production editing, coupled with the inclusion of subtitles and captions, is where your content truly comes to life. Seamless transitions, visual appeal, and information retention, bolstered by the addition of subtitles and captions, become the cornerstones of effective editing, captivating your audience’s attention and improving engagement.

Engaging with Viewers

Encouraging viewer interaction is key to fostering a sense of community around your educational content. Encourage viewers to share their insights, pose questions, and engage in discussions related to the video content. Responding to comments and feedback humanizes your brand and builds a loyal following. Analyzing viewer comments and feedback for insights not only enhances the viewer experience but also provides valuable feedback for refining your content. Utilizing calls to action, such as asking viewers to share their thoughts or complete a related activity, empowers them to actively participate in the learning process.

Promoting Your Educational Videos

Optimizing your video’s metadata with SEO techniques is crucial for visibility and reach. Crafting compelling titles, descriptions, and tags that resonate with your target audience boosts your video’s discoverability. Sharing your educational content across social media platforms and educational communities amplifies its reach, while collaborating with other educational content creators can open doors for cross-promotion opportunities. Using a video compressor can further optimize your content for various platforms by reducing file sizes without compromising quality, making it easier and quicker to share across different channels.

Analyzing Performance

Tracking video analytics unveils valuable insights into viewer behavior, engagement patterns, and areas for improvement. Feedback is a goldmine of information; use it to refine your future video content and delivery. By adapting strategies based on performance data, you can ensure that your content continues to resonate with your audience and drives ongoing growth.

Adhering to Educational Standards

Upholding educational standards is paramount in content creation. Ensuring factual accuracy, providing proper citations and references, and upholding ethical standards establishes your content as a credible source of knowledge. This fosters trust with your audience and maintains the integrity of your educational content.

Creating engaging educational videos for YouTube audiences is a journey that demands innovation, creativity, and a deep understanding of your viewers’ needs. As you embark on this adventure, let your passion for education and curiosity guide you.

UCL retains top global ranking for education and architecture & built environment

10 April 2024

UCL remains ranked in the top 10 globally in 10 subject areas in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024, the world’s most consulted university ranking, including two first-place rankings.

UCL has retained the number one spot in two subjects for the second consecutive year: Education, with the IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, now holding the top spot for 11 years running, and Architecture & Built Environment, recognising the academic excellence of The Bartlett, UCL’s Faculty of the Built Environment.

The 10 subject areas where UCL ranks in the global top 10 are Education (1), Architecture & Built Environment (1), Archaeology (3), Anthropology (4), Pharmacy & Pharmacology (4), Psychology (5), Medicine (6), Biological Sciences (6), Geography (7), and Anatomy & Physiology (8).

UCL appears in the rankings in all 46 subject areas that are ranked, featuring in the top 50 for 43 of them.

Professor Geraint Rees, UCL Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement), said: “ Our performance in these rankings shows how UCL is recognised as a centre for academic excellence in a wide range of disciplines. I am thrilled to congratulate my colleagues in the IOE and the Bartlett on once again being ranked first in the world. I continue to be impressed by the academic excellence of UCL colleagues across campus; in every faculty our students learn from world-leading researchers who continually strive to deliver the very highest standard of teaching. ”

Professor Li Wei, Dean and Director of IOE, said: “To be ranked first in the world in these subject rankings for the field of Education is very welcome recognition and affirmation of the outstanding performance in all areas of our work by my colleagues, in collaboration with our funders, partners, students and alumni. To achieve this for 11 years in a row is even more so. We are incredibly proud of IOE’s contribution to knowledge, policy and practice regarding the lives of children and families, not least in educating teachers, that most vital profession. From leading edge innovation in education research, to research and knowledge exchange that connects education to related societal domains, to teacher education rooted in subject specialism and engagement with research, all at scale, IOE embodies a distinctive contribution in that regard.”

Professor Jacqui Glass, Interim Dean of The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, said: “This wonderful achievement has been made possible by the continuing efforts of an outstanding community of people who come together at The Bartlett. It is a very welcome recognition of the incredibly diverse and impactful work that our students, educators, researchers and professional staff do – in partnership with peers and partners across many countries around the world.”  

To compile the subject rankings, comparing over 1,500 universities across the globe, QS used five key metrics (including academic reputation, research performance based on citations impact, and graduate employability), the precise weighting of which varies by subject to reflect differing research practices across disciplines.

The QS World University Rankings, which rank universities overall rather than at subject level, will be published later this year. The last edition of these rankings placed UCL at ninth in the world.
