QS Ranking


QS World University Rankings, compiled by Quacquarelli Symonds, is a prestigious ranking system that compares universities on a global scale. It's essentially a report card for universities, assessing their performance across various aspects. Here's a breakdown:

  • QS rankings rely on a combination of data points and surveys to deliver a well-rounded assessment.
  • There are six core metrics, each weighted to reflect its importance:
    • Academic Reputation (Scholarly Opinion)
    • Employer Reputation (Graduate Employability)
    • Student-to-Faculty Ratio (Teaching)
    • Citations per Faculty (Research)
    • International Student Ratio (Internationalization)
    • International Faculty Ratio (Internationalization)
  • It's important to note that QS recently incorporated new metrics in 2024 to reflect evolving priorities in higher education:
    • International Research Network (Collaboration)
    • Employment Outcomes (Graduate Careers)
    • Sustainability (Environmental Impact)
  • Data for these rankings comes from various sources including over 16 million academic papers, surveys from more than 151,000 academics and 100,000 employers [QS World University Rankings And Performance].
