QS Stars University Ratings

QS Stars is an opt-in university rating system that helps you select the right university based on the topics that matter to you.

Each institution receives an overall rating of 0 to 5+ Stars, as well as 0 to 5 Stars in at least eight of 13 key categories.

Why choose a university with QS Stars rating? Unlike rankings, ratings offer an in-depth picture of the strengths and weaknesses of a university in specific areas. Using QS Stars when searching for your future program will make your decision easier, allowing you to match your interests to the right university.

By thoroughly evaluating universities across key areas like teaching, facilities, sustainability, research, and employability – QS Stars allows you to easily find and compare the universities that perform best in the areas you value most, empowering you to make informed, confident decisions.

Every institution is different, and every student is unique. With QS Stars, you can discover universities that excel in your individual priorities, whether that's cutting-edge research, stellar career support, or world-class teaching – not just those who top the ranking tables. Find the university that's right for you and your goals.

The table below shows the ratings of universities with an active QS Stars subscription that have agreed to publish their results. You can filter the institutions by location, rating, and/or category.
