Reputation and productivity

A total of 16,400 academic programmes across more than 1,500 universities worldwide were included in the ranking, which is based on four indicators.

Firstly, academics assess the reputation of nominated departments at various universities. Secondly, employers provide an appraisal of the graduates. In addition, QS assesses the productivity of researchers and how often their studies were cited.

The various indicators are weighted differently depending on the subject.
