collapsible-block" id="mf-section-1"> QS was founded by Nunzio Quacquarelli in 1990 to provide information and advice to students looking to study abroad. Since then, the company expanded to include a wider range of higher education-focused products and services before partnering with THE in 2004 to create the THE–QS World University Rankings. A perceived need for an international ranking of universities was highlighted in December 2003 in <a href="/wiki/Richard_Lambert" title="Richard Lambert">Richard Lambert</a>'s review of university-industry collaboration in <a href="/wiki/Great_Britain" title="Great Britain">Great Britain</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> for <a href="/wiki/HM_Treasury" title="HM Treasury">HM Treasury</a>, the finance ministry of the United Kingdom. Amongst its recommendations were world university rankings, which Lambert said would help the UK gauge the global standing of its universities. Between 2004 and 2009, QS produced the rankings in partnership with THE. In 2009, THE announced they would produce their own rankings, the <a href="/wiki/Times_Higher_Education_World_University_Rankings" title="Times Higher Education World University Rankings">Times Higher Education World University Rankings</a>, in partnership with <a href="/wiki/Thomson_Reuters" title="Thomson Reuters">Thomson Reuters</a>. THE cited an asserted weakness in the methodology of the original rankings,<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> as well as a perceived favoritism in the existing methodology for science over the humanities,<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> as two of the key reasons for the decision to split with QS. THE created a new methodology with Thomson Reuters, and published the first Times Higher Education World University Rankings in September 2010. QS publishes the rankings results in the world's media and has entered into partnerships with a number of outlets, including <a href="/wiki/The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a> in the United Kingdom and <a href="/wiki/Chosun_Ilbo" class="mw-redirect" title="Chosun Ilbo">Chosun Ilbo</a> in <a href="/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>. The first rankings produced by QS independently of THE, and using QS's methodology, were released in September 2010; the second rankings were released a year later, in September 2011. QS designed its rankings to assess performance according to what it believes to be key aspects of a university's mission: teaching, research, nurturing employability, and internationalisation.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> QS has a global presence with offices in Europe, Asia, and the Americas and provides products and services related to student recruitment, events, and consulting services. In 2022, the firm's founder, Nunzio Quacquarelli, was appointed as the company's president. Jessica Turner serves as the company's chief executive officer, responsible for the firm's operations and strategy.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Rankings">Rankings</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Rankings" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="QS_World_University_Rankings">QS World University Rankings</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: QS World University Rankings" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The QS World University Rankings are released annually, typically in June. The 2023 edition featured 1418 institutions across 100 locations. The rankings are based on a methodology that considers a range of factors, including academic reputation, employer reputation, research impact, and internationalization. The methodology is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant and up-to-date. The most recent methodology used by QS to calculate the rankings includes the following indicators:<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Academic_reputation">Academic reputation</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Academic reputation" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Accounting for 40% of the overall score, academic reputation relates to academic excellence and the scholarly esteem in which the world's universities are held. It collates more than 150,000 responses from academics in more than 140 countries and locations.<a href="#cite_note-britannia-study-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-QC2012-20">[20]</a> QS has previously published the job titles and geographical distribution of the participants in this survey.<a href="#cite_note-QC2012-20">[20]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Faculty/student_ratio">Faculty/student ratio</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Faculty/student ratio" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> This indicator accounts for 15% of a university's score in the rankings. It is a classic measure used in various ranking systems as an indication of staff resources afforded to students, including teaching capacity, class size, curriculum development, lab and seminar delivery, pastoral care, teaching capacity and class size. QS has admitted that it is a limited metric, particularly in the face of modern enhancements in online teaching methods and content distribution.<a href="#cite_note-britannia-study-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Citations/faculty">Citations/faculty</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Citations/faculty" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Citations of published research are among the most widely used inputs to national and global university rankings. The QS World University Rankings used citation data from Thomson (now Thomson Reuters) from 2004 to 2007, and since then has used data from <a href="/wiki/Scopus" title="Scopus">Scopus</a>, part of Elsevier. The total number of citations for a five-year period is divided by the number of academics in a university to yield the score for this measure, which accounts for 20% of a university's score in the rankings. QS has explained that it uses this approach, rather than the citations per paper preferred for in other rankings systems because it reduces the impact of biomedical science on the overall picture – biomedicine has a ferocious "<a href="/wiki/Publish_or_perish" title="Publish or perish">publish or perish</a>" culture. Instead, QS attempts to measure the density of research-active staff at each institution, but issues remain about the use of citations in ranking systems, especially the fact that the arts and humanities generate comparatively few citations.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-21">[21]</a> Since 2015, QS has made methodological enhancements designed to remove the advantage institutions specializing in the Natural Sciences or Medicine previously received. This enhancement is termed faculty area normalization and ensures that an institution's citations count in each of QS's five key Faculty Areas is weighted to account for 20% of the final citations score.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> QS has conceded the presence of some data-collection errors regarding citations per faculty in previous years' rankings.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> One concern is the differences between the Scopus and Thomson Reuters databases. For major world universities, the two systems capture largely the same publications and citations. For less prominent institutions, Scopus has more non-English language and smaller-circulation journals in its database leading some critics to suggest that citation averages are skewed towards English-speaking universities.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-21">[21]</a> This area has been criticized for undermining universities that do not use English as their primary language.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Employer_reputation">Employer reputation</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Employer reputation" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> QS's Employer Reputation indicator is obtained using another survey, like Academic Reputation, and accounts for 15% of an institution's overall score. The most recent edition surveyed some 99,000 employers at companies and organisations that hire graduates on a significant or global scale. This survey was introduced in 2005 in the belief that employers track graduate quality, making this a barometer of teaching quality and the level of work readiness acquired by students, a famously problematic factor to measure. University standing here is of special interest to potential students, and acknowledging this was the impetus behind the inaugural QS Graduate Employability Rankings, published in November 2015.<a href="#cite_note-britannia-study-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> However, these rankings were subsequently discontinued in 2021, with its data rolled into the QS World University Rankings methodology. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Internationalization">Internationalization</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Internationalization" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The final 10% of a university's score is derived from measures intended to capture their internationalization: half from their percentage of international students, and the other half from their percentage of international staff. This is of interest partly because it shows whether a university is putting effort into global collaboration and diversity, but also because it indicates global appeal for students and researchers around the world.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> QS recently began distinguishing between International Faculty Ratio and International Student Ratio', both of which account for 5% of the total weightage. While the former evaluates the ratio of international faculty staff to overall staff, the latter assumes that Institutions that have a large number of international students should have better networking, cultural exchanges, a more diverse learning experience and alumni diversity.<a href="#cite_note-britannia-study-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Other_factors">Other factors</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Other factors" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Beginning with its 2024 rankings, QS implemented

produces four regional rankings, including the Arab Region, Asia, Emerging Europe and Central Asia (discontinued), and Latin America. In 2023, QS launched the QS World University Rankings: Europe. These editions include an expanded roster of ranked universities for each region than those featured in the QS World University Rankings. While the same methodological indicators tend to be used for the regional rankings, the weightings are modified and additional lenses are included to account for the unique characteristics of each region. Additional metrics include incoming and outgoing exchange students, academic staff with a PhD, and web visibility. Accordingly, the performance of institutions within their respective regional rankings can differ significantly from the QS World University Rankings released in the same academic year.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Arab_region">Arab region</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Arab region" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> First published in 2014, the annual QS Arab Region University Rankings highlights leading universities in the Arab Region.

the QS World University Rankings by Subject which are usually published in March or April. The rankings provide a detailed evaluation of universities based on their performance in more than 50 specific academic disciplines (Business, Mathematics, Medicine, Law, among others), as well as their performance in five broad faculty areas (Arts & Humanities, Engineering & Technology, Life Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences). The QS World University Rankings by Subject was first introduced in 2011 and initially covered only five subject areas. Since then, the number of subjects has increased more than tenfold and is now considered one of the most comprehensive subject-focused rankings. Way before 2024 updates of core indicators used in the World University Rankings, the QS World University Rankings by Subject was already using International Research Network. In addition, Rankings by Subject also use H-Index, which assesses research productivity and impact within specific fields. <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Categories of QS World University Rankings by Faculty and Subject </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Arts & Humanities</th> <th>Engineering & Technology</th> <th>Life Sciences & Medicine</th> <th>Natural Sciences</th> <th>Social Sciences </th></tr> <tr> <td>Art & Design</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Computer_science" title="Computer science">Computer Science</a></td> <td>Agriculture & Forestry</td> <td>Biological Sciences</td> <td>Accounting </td></tr> <tr> <td>Architecture</td> <td>Data Science</td> <td>Anatomy</td> <td>Chemistry</td> <td>Business </td></tr> <tr> <td>Archaeology</td> <td>Engineering – Chemical</td> <td>Anthropology</td> <td>Earth & Marine Sciences</td> <td>Communication </td></tr> <tr> <td>Classics</td> <td>Engineering – Civil</td> <td>Dentistry</td> <td>Environmental Sciences</td> <td>Development Studies </td></tr> <tr> <td>English Language and Literature</td> <td>Engineering – Electrical</td> <td>Medicine</td> <td>Geography</td> <td>Economics & Econometrics </td></tr> <tr> <td>History</td> <td>Engineering – Mechanical</td> <td>Nursing</td> <td>Geology</td> <td>Education </td></tr> <tr> <td>Performing Arts</td> <td>Engineering – Mineral</td> <td>Pharmacy</td> <td>Geophysics</td> <td>Hospitality & Leisure Management </td></tr> <tr> <td>History of Art</td> <td>Petroleum Engineering</td> <td>Veterinary Science</td> <td>Mathematics</td> <td>Law </td></tr> <tr> <td>Linguistics</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Materials Science</td> <td>Library Management </td></tr> <tr> <td>Modern Languages</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Physics</td> <td>Marketing </td></tr> <tr> <td>Philosophy</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Politics </td></tr> <tr> <td>Theology</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Psychology </td></tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Social Policy </td></tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Sociology </td></tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Sports-related Subjects </td></tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Statistics </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="QS_Best_Student_Cities">QS Best Student Cities</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: QS Best Student Cities" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The QS Best Student Cities rankings are an annual comparison of cities around the world based on their appeal and benefits to students who study there. Launched in 2012, the rankings are based on a range of indicators that are designed to capture the experience of students living and studying in a particular city. The methodology for QS Best Student Cities is based on five indicators:<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <ul><li>University Rankings – based on the performance of universities in a particular city, as measured by the QS World University Rankings.</li> <li>Student Mix – looking at the student population's diversity as well as social and cultural activities.</li> <li>Desirability – concerning factors such as safety, pollution and infrastructure.</li> <li>Employer Activity – assessing employment opportunities for students in a particular city and the number of international companies based there.</li> <li>Affordability – based on factors such as the cost of living, tuition fees and the availability of scholarships and financial support.</li></ul> <table class="wikitable sortable">

include business schools, MBAs and business master's degrees. It launched QS Global MBA Rankings to provide students with a comprehensive list of the best MBA programmes worldwide, based on factors such as reputation, employability, and course content. The QS Global MBA Rankings is now an annual publication released alongside its sister rankings, the QS Business Master's Rankings and until 2023 the QS MBA by Career Specialisation Rankings (discontinued) These lists the world's best master's programmes for business-related subjects and MBAs for specific career options including Finance, Business Management, Business Analytics, Marketing and Supply Chain Management. Currently, QS's methodology for ranking MBAs and business master's degrees is based on six indicators: <ul><li>Employability (35% – 30% in Finance and Business Analytics)</li> <li>Alumni Outcomes (15% – 20% in Finance and Business Analytics)</li> <li>Return on Investment (20%)</li> <li>Thought Leadership (15%)</li> <li>Class and Faculty Diversity (10%)</li></ul> In addition, QS produces two other annual MBA comparisons, the Online MBA Rankings<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> and the Executive MBA Rankings.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=QS_World_University_Rankings&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Reception" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> In September 2015, <a href="/wiki/The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a> referred to the QS World University Rankings as "the most authoritative of their kind".<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> In September 2012, <a href="/wiki/The_Independent" title="The Independent">The Independent</a> described the QS World University Rankings as being "widely recognised throughout higher education as the most trusted international tables".<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In September 2016, Angel Calderon, principal advisor for planning and research at <a href="/wiki/RMIT_University" class="mw-redirect" title="RMIT University">RMIT University</a> and a member of the QS Advisory Board, said, "QS Latin American University Rankings has [sic] become the annual international benchmark universities use to ascertain their relative standing in the region".

QS do not reveal the response rates for the survey, but statements from QS indicate that they are very low (2–8 %),<a href="#cite_note-Methodology_of_QS-7">[7]</a> which would make the results highly unreliable. Other commentators have pointed at the low validity of the survey, since few people know much about the quality of teaching and research at other institutions but their own.<a href="#cite_note-:3-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> However, the issues extend beyond survey methodology. The QS World University Rankings have been criticised by many for placing too much emphasis on reputation, which receives 50% of the overall score. Some people have expressed concern about the manner in which the academic reputation survey has been carried out.<a href="#cite_note-UniversityRankingWatch-40">[40]</a> In a report,<a href="#cite_note-Wills-41">[41]</a> Peter Wills from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Auckland" title="University of Auckland">University of Auckland</a> wrote of the THE-QS World University Rankings:<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">But we note also that this survey establishes its rankings by appealing to university staff, even offering financial enticements to participate (see Appendix II). Staff are likely to feel it is in their greatest interest to rank their own institution more highly than others. This means the results of the survey and any apparent change in ranking are highly questionable, and that a high ranking has no real intrinsic value in any case. We are vehemently opposed to the evaluation of the University according to the outcome of such PR competitions.</blockquote> Like many other international university rankings, QS uses a citation database to calculate some of its indicators. The use of these citations databases have been criticised, since they do not include research output from the humanities and social sciences to the same degree as the natural sciences, engineering and medicine.<a href="#cite_note-:3-35">[35]</a> It has also been pointed out that the indicator 'faculty/student ratio' does not measure commitment to teaching, but rather research intensity, since a large share of the faculty typically spends most or all of their time doing research rather than teaching.<a href="#cite_note-:2-9">[9]</a> Since the split from Times Higher Education in 2009, further concerns about the methodology QS uses for its rankings have been brought up by several experts. In October 2010, criticism of the old system came from Fred L. Bookstein, Horst Seidler, Martin Fieder, and Georg Winckler in the journal Scientomentrics for the unreliability of QS's methods: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">Several individual indicators from the Times Higher Education Survey (THES) data base—the overall score, the reported staff-to-student ratio, and the peer ratings—demonstrate unacceptably high fluctuation from year to year. The inappropriateness of the summary tabulations for assessing the majority of the "top 200" universities would be apparent purely for reason of this obvious statistical instability regardless of other grounds of criticism. There are far too many anomalies in the change scores of the various indices for them to be of use in the course of university management.<a href="#cite_note-Scientometrics-6">[6]</a></blockquote> In September 2011, the <a href="/wiki/New_Statesman" title="New Statesman">New Statesman</a> labeled the rankings "The QS World University Rankings are a load of old baloney" in a headline for an article by <a href="/wiki/David_Blanchflower" title="David Blanchflower">David Blanchflower</a>, a labour economist, who wrote that, "This ranking is complete rubbish and nobody should place any credence in it. The results are based on an entirely flawed methodology that underweights the quality of research and overweights fluff... The QS is a flawed index and should be ignored."<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> The QS Subject Rankings have been dismissed as unreliable by <a href="/wiki/Brian_Leiter" title="Brian Leiter">Brian Leiter</a>, who points out that programmes that are known to be high quality, and which rank highly in the Blackwell rankings (e.g., the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Pittsburgh" title="University of Pittsburgh">University of Pittsburgh</a>) fare poorly in the QS ranking for reasons that are not at all clear.<a href="#cite_note-haziness-43">[43]</a> In an article titled The Globalisation of College and University Rankings and appearing in the January/February 2012 issue of <a href="/wiki/Change:_The_Magazine_of_Higher_Learning" title="Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning">Change</a>, Philip Altbach, professor of higher education at <a href="/wiki/Boston_College" title="Boston College">Boston College</a> and also a member of the THE editorial board, said: "The QS World University Rankings are the most problematical. From the beginning, the QS has relied on reputational indicators for half of its analysis … it probably accounts for the significant variability in the QS rankings over the years. In addition, QS queries employers, introducing even more variability and unreliability into the mix. Whether the QS rankings should be taken seriously by the higher education community is questionable."<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> In June 2012, <a href="/wiki/Simon_Marginson" title="Simon Marginson">Simon Marginson</a>, a professor of higher education at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Melbourne" title="University of Melbourne">University of Melbourne</a> and a member of the THE editorial board, said, "I will not discuss the QS ranking because the methodology is not sufficiently robust to provide data valid as social science".<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> On the QS website, QS's Intelligence Unit counter these criticisms by stating in the section on "Statistical Validity", reproduced here in completeness: "Over 62,000 academic respondents contributed to our 2013 academic results, four times more than in 2010. Independent academic reviews have confirmed these results to be more than 99% reliable."<a href="#cite_note-Academic_Reputation-46">[46]</a> Furthermore, the indicators used in these rankings have come under scrutiny for their lack of inclusivity and consideration of diverse institutional contexts. Several scholars, for instance, have highlighted biases against <a href="/wiki/Higher_education_in_the_Arab_world" title="Higher education in the Arab world">universities in the Arab region</a> within existing rankings. They have advocated for the development of new methodologies that account for institutional disparities and ensure fair representation.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a><a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> In 2021, research published by the Center for Studies in Higher Education at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Berkeley" title="University of California, Berkeley">University of California, Berkeley</a> raised the possibility that institutions that employ QS's consulting services are rewarded with improved rankings.

The minimum result that a university can receive is zero Stars, while truly exceptional, world-leading universities can receive '5*+', or 'Five Star Plus', status. The QS Stars audit process evaluates universities according to about 50 different indicators. By 2018, about 20 different universities worldwide had been awarded the maximum possible Five Star Plus rating.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> QS Stars<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> ratings are derived from scores on in eight out of 12 categories.
