Notices
Inclusion in a QS ranking or QS Stars rating or publication on a QS platform/site does not constitute a statement by QS that an institution's qualifications are recognised for academic, professional, regulatory or immigration purposes in every jurisdiction. Students should check the recognition status of a qualification with the relevant national or professional authority in the country where they intend to study or work.
The country/territory designations used across QS rankings, ratings and platforms exist to present and compare higher education data clearly and consistently. They do not express any QS position on sovereignty, recognition, legal status or international boundaries. Where it helps users interpret the data, QS may group institutions according to the higher education system in which they operate, which in most cases corresponds to a country, but not always. Where questions of status or designation arise, QS uses terminology appropriate to the higher education context.
