I. Overview of QS ranking
QS World University Ranking is one of the most valuable and widely used university rankings in the world. It is published once a year by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS for short). QS ranking takes into account a number of indicators, including academic reputation, employer reputation, teacher-student ratio, degree of internationalization, citation rate of academic papers and so on. These indicators are considered to reflect the academic performance, teaching quality, research influence and international reputation of a university.
QS ranking ranks universities in the world according to their total scores and divides them into different disciplines. These subjects include natural science, social science, engineering technology, art and humanities. Ranking data is an important reference for students, parents and academic circles, which can help them understand the reputation and performance of universities and make better choices.
Second, the authority of QS ranking.
QS ranking enjoys a certain authority in the field of university ranking. Its professionalism, wide participation and high transparency make it an important reference for university selection and comparison. The comprehensive index of QS ranking covers key factors such as academic reputation, employer recognition, teaching quality and research influence.
However, the ranking results are still challenged by subjectivity and data accuracy, and it is impossible to comprehensively measure all the characteristics of a university. Therefore, the authority of QS ranking has certain limitations and should be used with caution.
