Additionally, rankings were introduced for five arts-related professional degrees, covering Music, Dance, Drama and Film, Traditional Opera and Folk Art, and Fine Arts and Calligraphy.

A total of 5,344 subject areas from 517 universities were ranked nationally, with Peking University and Tsinghua University securing the top two positions.
