📈 What is the QS World University Rankings?
The QS World University Rankings are one of the most influential university rankings in the world, published by a British education organization.
The ranking is mainly based on the following indicators:
Academic reputation
Employer Reviews
Student-to-faculty ratio
International student ratio
Research citations
The QS rankings are updated annually and provide global rankings, Asian rankings, and subject rankings. However, some scholars have pointed out that some of the evaluation indicators are rather subjective, so they suggest that students use the rankings as a reference rather than the sole standard.
