Quacquarelli Symonds' QS World University Rankings is an annual release of university rankings (QS). From 2004 to 2009, the publisher worked with Times Higher Education (THE) magazine to publish its worldwide league tables as Times Higher Education–QS World University Rankings, before both started to declare their own versions.
QS World University Rankings are formulated based on six indicators
- Academic Reputation (40%)
- Employer Reputation (10%)
- Faculty/Student Ratio (20%)
- Citations per faculty (20%)
- International Faculty Ratio (5%)
- International Student Ratio (5%)
