The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to academic disciplines: An academic discipline or field of study is a branch of knowledge and researched as part of higher education. A scholar's discipline is defined by the university faculties and learned societies to which they belong and the academic journals in which they publish research. Disciplines vary between well-established ones that exist in all universities and have well-defined rosters of journals and conferences, nascent ones supported by only a few universities and publications. A discipline may have branches, these are called sub-disciplines; the following outline is provided as topical guide to academic disciplines. In each case an entry at the highest level of the hierarchy is a group of broadly similar disciplines.
