The regional ranking uses five basic criteria: research impact and productivity, teaching commitment, employability, online impact and internationalisation. The method retains key indicators of the global ranking, such as Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, and Faculty to Student Ratio, but also considers a set of performance metrics carefully tailored for the region. The following metrics are used:
Academic reputation (30%)
Taken from the annual survey conducted by QS designed to evaluate the perceptions of academics from around the world regarding teaching and research quality at the best universities. In doing so, it has grown to become the world’s largest survey of academic opinion, and, in terms of size and scope, is an unparallel means of measuring sentiment in the academic community. This year, over 130,000 responses were recorded globally.
Employer reputation (20%)
The Employer Reputation metric is based on responses to the QS Employer Survey, and asks employers to identify those institutions from which they source the most competent, innovative, effective graduates. The QS Employer Survey is also the world’s largest of its kind.
