The QS World University Rankings, according to the website, consider many factors like the
range of subjects and degree levels offered by an institution, along with its teaching
methods.
Three new metrics were introduced for this year’s list alongside existing ones, and the
weightage of some existing factors was adjusted. Sustainability, employment outcomes for
graduates, and the international research network were given greater emphasis as the
research methodology behind the list evolved for the first time in twenty years.
