Containing the best universities from the five BRICS countries, this year’s BRICS University Rankings is once again topped by Tsinghua University. Tsinghua is part of an all-Chinese top five in this year’s table, with Zhejiang University climbing one place to fifth since last year.

This year, the BRICS University Rankings was prefaced by the release of our first-ever QS World University Rankings by Location and separate tables for both mainland China and India. To get more insights into these study destinations, check out the tables here and here.

The BRICS ranking is compiled using eight different indicators, including the ratio of faculty to students, the proportion of academic staff with a PhD and the institution’s reputation among academics and employers. More information about the methodology can be found here.
