QS World University Rankings methodology
Each year, the QS World University Rankings ranks the world’s 1,500 best institutions, in 5 major fields and 51 subjects. The QS rankings differ from other international rankings in that academic peer review (40% of the final score) and employer reputation (30%) take priority. Two further criteria are used for this ranking: the impact and productivity of faculty’s published research (10%) and citations per paper (10%).
