METHODOLOGY

The QS World University Rankings® have been published since 2004. Whilst theheadline measures have not changed since 2005, we introduce refinements to provide evenstronger results year aer year.

INDICATORS

ACADEMIC REPUTATIONTaken from the annual survey conducted by QS designed to evaluate the percepons ofacademics from around the world regarding the best instuons in terms of research. Inthis edion, over 75,000 responses were recorded globally.

EMPLOYER REPUTATIONTaken from the annual QS survey aimed at gathering the views of employers around theworld on the instuons providing the best professionals. For the 2018 edion, about40,400 responses were analysed.

CITATIONS PER FACULTYThis rao measures the average number of citaons obtained per faculty member, and is anesmate of the impact and quality of the scienfic work produced by universies. Thisindicator is calculated using data from Scopus. To avoid anomalous results, an affiliaon capis applied discarding papers with an unusually high number of affiliaons. Self-citaons areexcluded and citaon counts are normalized, ensuring that citaons achieved in each of thefive broad faculty areas are weighted equally (more informaon: bit.ly/1RbERtx)

STUDENT TO FACULTY RATIOThis is the rao between the number of academic staff and number of students. A highernumber of teachers per student is an indirect indicator of the commitment of theinstuons to high-quality teaching.

INTERNATIONAL FACULTYThe Internaonal Faculty Index is simply based on the proporon of faculty members thatare internaonal. It is a proxy measure for how internaonally aracve the university is toacademic staff. Universies based in locaons known for aracng high proporons ofexpatriates perform well here such as those in Hong Kong, Switzerland and UAE.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTSSimilar in nature to the Internaonal Faculty Index, the Internaonal Students Index isbased on the proporon of students that are internaonal. It is a proxy measure for howinternaonally aracve the university is to students. A racng internaonal faculty andstudents can be challenging for instuons that are more naonally or regionally focussed.

THIS YEAR'S REFINEMENTS

CITATION WINDOWEXTENDED TO 6 YEARS

For this edion, whilst we have retaineda five year publicaon period, we haveextended the citaon period for thosepapers to six years. Specifically, for theQS World University Rankings 2018 wecounted citaons aracted in the2011-2016 period by those papersindexed in Scopus with publicaondates between 2011 and 2015. Thisincreases the significance of the finalyear of the five year period andprovides a lile more data to ournormalizaon process.

EMPLOYER REPUTATION:WEIGHTINGS RECALIBRATION

Unl now, QS has applied a weighngof 70% to the internaonal and 30%to the domesc score in our employerreputaon analysis. In recent years assurvey responses have grown and therankings have been extended, a largerproporon of responses are nowdomesc where employers typicallyhave a more inmate understandingof their local universies. Goingforward from this year this balancehas been shied to 50:50.
