- Globally, MIT is the top university for the 10th consecutive year.
- The University of Oxford has risen to second rank for the first time since 2006, while Stanford University and the University of Cambridge share third spot.
QS Stars University Ratings
- QS Stars is a rating system that provides a detailed look at an institution, enabling you to identify which universities are the best in the specific topics that you care about, like program strength, facilities, graduate employability, social responsibility, inclusiveness, and more.
- QS Stars understands that universities are different to one another and therefore need to be assessed on a range of categories that recognize distinct strengths.
- It also recognizes that each student is looking for something different, and not all universities – even the highest ranked institutions – suit every student.
- In the methodology used for QS Stars, universities are evaluated in dozens of indicators across at least eight categories.
- After the assessment, universities are awarded with an overall Star result which ranges from 0 to 5+ Stars, depending on the number of points achieved through the evaluation.
