QS World University Ranking continues to adopt a consistent methodological framework: that is, it is compiled by six indicators that we believe can effectively reflect university performance.

1, academic reputation (40%)

The highest weight of the index is assigned to the academic reputation score of the institution. This index is based on our academic investigation. The survey collates the opinions of more than 6.5438+0.3 million experts in the field of higher education on the quality of teaching and scientific research in global universities, making it the largest academic opinion survey in the world and an unprecedented way to measure academic opinions.

2. Employer's reputation (10%)

Most students pursue higher education for better career development. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the ability of colleges and universities to provide students with employment preparation for rankings with global students as the main audience. The Employer Reputation Index is based on nearly 75,000 responses to the QS Employer Questionnaire.

3. Teacher-student ratio (20%)

When comparing different institutions with rankings, students usually think that teaching quality is the most important indicator. As we all know, this indicator is difficult to measure, but we are sure that the teacher-student ratio is the most effective alternative indicator of teaching quality.

4. Citation rate of teachers' papers (20%)

Teaching is an important pillar of the mission of colleges and universities, and the other is research results. We use the citation rate of teachers' papers as an index to measure the quality of scientific research in colleges and universities.

5. Proportion of international teachers/international students (5% each)

A highly internationalized university has many advantages. Internationalization shows a university's ability to attract teachers and students from all over the world, and then shows its strong international image, which means that it has a highly globalized prospect, which is particularly important for universities in the field of internationalized higher education.
