The qs ranking is the complete list of universities. Quacquarelli Symonds ranking results published
The QS international rating has been published since 2004, and initially experts from the British publication Times Higher Education (THE) participated in the preparation of its methodology. Since 2010, the analytical company Quacquarelli Symonds Ltd. started publishing ratings independently. When compiling the rating, statistical information from the Scopus bibliometric database is taken into account.

Compared to the previous year, the position of universities remained almost unchanged: the California Institute of Technology moved up one position, while Cambridge, on the contrary, went down; Imperial College London and the University of Chicago were ranked 9th and 10th respectively in last year's rankings, while the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology dropped two places.
Among 300 best universities also located are St. Petersburg State University (240th place), Novosibirsk State University (250th place) and Moscow State Technical University. Bauman (291st place). According to QS, the citation index at NSU, unlike other domestic universities, has also grown.

The ranking methodology has undergone minor changes this year. Zoya Zaitseva commented: “Firstly, the ratio of the weights of the votes of domestic and international employers has changed. Previously, it was 30/70, from this year the weight will be equal, 50/50. This is a major plus for Russian universities who are finally working much more intensively with their contacts in the companies.”
In addition, the analysis of the Scopus database has changed. “Before, we considered a five-year window, capturing quotes from the year the rating was published,” explains Zaitseva. - However, after lengthy discussions with our Academic Council, it was decided to expand the window to six years. So, this year we analyzed 2011-2016 citations referring to articles published between 2011 and 2015. This raises the importance of the last year in the analysis and gives us a slightly more accurate data.”
Experts from Quacquarelli Symonds claim that the competent planning of the activities of Russian universities, aimed at improving their reputation, certainly helped them rise in the rankings. "Achievements Russian universities this year indicate that careful, long-term strategic planning, purposeful and consistent investment, and the desire for internationalization will ultimately lead to tangible positive changes in the positions of Russian universities in the rankings. Despite the fact that Russian universities are still hampered by the relatively low results of bibliometric indicators, behind the high results of this year are the desire of Russian universities to strengthen their positions in the international arena and the implementation of an international strategy as an integral part of the development of the university,” said Ben Sauter, Head of the Department research QS Intelligence Unit.

QS has been working in the field of education since 1990. It organizes international events for students and ranks universities around the world. QS World university rankings is considered one of the three most influential university rankings in the world, along with Times Higher Education and Academic Ranking of World Universities. However, the rankings have been criticized for relying on subjective metrics and polls, which tend to fluctuate from year to year.
The QS Graduate Employability Ranking 2020, published today, is based on five indicators: reputation among employers, success of graduates, partnerships with employers, interaction between employers and students, and employment of graduates.
The Russian Higher School was represented by 13 universities, seven of which are among the participants of the Project 5-100. The winner of the best indicator among them was the HSE, which shared places from 201st to 250th. Another six universities of Project 5-100 - Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, NSU, NUST MISIS, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and TPU - took places in the 301-500 rating range. Most strengths universities of the Project 5-100 - employment of graduates and interaction of employers with students.
The Russian leaders in the QS Graduate Employability Ranking are Moscow State University (group of places 101-110), St. Petersburg State University (position 181-190) and MGIMO (position 191-200). The overall first place in the ranking went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the second - to Stanford University, the third - University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

High school graduates always face a difficult task - to decide on the future place of study. The choice of a university can play a key role in a further working career, therefore, applicants and their parents always approach the solution of such a significant issue with special attention. To help them, QS World University Rankings was created. This annual rating universities and institutes provides an opportunity to find out which educational institutions offer the best learning conditions in 42 specialties. In addition to filters by subject, the applicant can also specify a specific region or a specific country.
Methodology QS World University Rankings
- Academic reputation. Respondents involved in this or related fields are asked to name up to 10 domestic and 30 international educational institutions which they consider suitable for scientific activity. In 2016, over 76,000 people employed in the field of higher education
- Employer reputation. Employers are asked to name 10 domestic and 30 international universities whose graduates are best suited to work in the organization. The 2016 data is based on a survey of over 44,000 employers.
- Citation Index. Scientometric indicator of the number of references to scientific works of university teachers.
- hirsch index. An indicator showing the ratio of the number of publications to the level of their citation. At the moment, it is believed that the h-index is the most objective indicator of the significance and scientific productivity.
It is worth mentioning separately that for various academic fields their own correction factors were applied. Thus, for medical specialties, where publication activity is of high importance, the Citation Index and the Hirsch Index accounted for 25% of the total result of a particular university. For historical faculties - 15%. And in the field of art and design, where the quantity scientific works very few, these factors were not taken into account at all.

The results of the QS World University Rankings, which represent the world's leading universities, have become known. Moscow State University again became the best in Russia, retaining its position last year - 108th in the world. In total, 3,800 universities participated in the ranking, of which 891 were included in the list.
According to MSU Rector Viktor Sadovnichy, MSU once again confirmed its leading position in the face of increased competition, especially from universities in the Asian region.
"In 2016, we traditionally improved our positions in the categories of "opinions of experts from the academic environment" (Academic Reputation) and "reputation of the university among employers" (Employer reputation), which are the main indicators of the work of the university, it is these criteria that determine the quality of teaching at the university and the level holding scientific research. Also this year, we successfully conducted an admissions campaign to attract foreign students, which is a good start for the future,” commented Viktor Sadovnichy, Rector of Moscow State University.
Our universities in last years improve their positions in international rankings, which contributes to their promotion in the global market of educational services and attracts foreign students. In the latest QS subject rankings, eight of our universities are in the top 100. The leader was Moscow State University, which was in the top 100 in 12 regions. The highest place - 17th - he received in the field of "Linguistics". In second place is St. Petersburg State University, which is represented by two subjects. IN full version subject rating were 17 of our universities. MEPhI, Novosibirsk State University, Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after M.I. Gubkin. For this QS subject ranking, 4,226 educational institutions of the world were evaluated, and in total it included 945 universities. More than 113 million citations have been analyzed, and the provision of about 15,530 curricula has been verified.
“Just 5 years ago, few people in our universities knew about the Hirsch index, the impact factor, the Scopus and Web of Science databases, the world university rankings QS, THE and ARWU. Today everyone knows,” said Tomsk Polytechnic University Rector Petr Chubik.
As for another prestigious THE international ranking prepared by the British magazine Times Higher Education, five of our universities are included in the list of the 200 best universities in Europe. These are Moscow State University (it has 79th place), St. Petersburg Polytechnic University of Peter the Great (113), Tomsk Polytechnic University (136), Kazan Federal University (152), MEPhI (164).
In the first positions in all international rankings Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, cambridge universities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

QS World University Rankings is an annual edition of university rankings by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Formerly known as Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings, the publisher collaborated with Times Higher Education(THE) printed their international league tables from 2004 to 2009 before they began announcing their own versions. QS then decided to continue using the existing methodologies until Times Higher Education adopted a new methodology for creating their rankings.
The QS system currently includes a global general and subject ranking (which is the name of the world's top universities for studying 48 different subjects and five constituent faculty areas), along with five independent regional tables (Asia, Latin America, Emerging Europe and Central Asia, the Arab region and BRICS).
As the only international ranking to have received an International Expert Group Ranking (IREG) approval, the QS rankings are regarded as one of the three most widely read university rankings in the world, along with academic ranking of world universities And Times Higher Education World University Rankings. However, it has been criticized for its over-reliance on subjective measures and reputation surveys, which tend to fluctuate over the years. Concern also exists regarding the global consistency and integrity of the data used to derive QS ranking results.
history
The need for international ranking UK universities' targets were highlighted in December 2003 in Richard Lambert's review of university and industry cooperation in the UK for the Treasury, the United Kingdom's Treasury. Among his recommendations were world university rankings, which Lambert said would help the UK assess the global standing of its universities.
The idea of the ranking was credited to Ben Wildavsky's book, Big Brain Race: How Global Universities Reshape the World, to the then editor Times Higher Education(), John O "Leary . Decided to cooperate with the company's training and quarry boards Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to supply the data, appointing Martin Ince, former Associate Editor and later contractor, to manage the project.
Between 2004 and 2009, QS produced the rankings in partnership with. In 2009 they announced that they would produce their own rankings, in Times Higher Education World University Rankings , in partnership with Thomson Reuters . She cited claimed weaknesses in the original rankings methodology, as well as perceived favoritism in the existing methodology of the sciences over the humanities, as two of the main reasons for the decision to split from QS.
QS saved intellectual property in previous rankings and the methodology used to compile them and continues to produce rankings based on this methodology, which are now called the QS World University Rankings.
Created a new methodology with Thomson Reuters and published the first Times Higher Education World University Rankings in September 2010.

QS publishes rankings in the global media and has entered into partnerships with a number of outlets, including The Guardian in the United Kingdom, and Joseon Ilbo in Korea. The first ratings, obtained by QS independently of and using QS's consistent and original methodology, were released on September 8, 2010, with the second appearing on September 6, 2011.
Academic peer review
This is the most controversial part of the methodology. Using a combination of purchased mailing lists and applications and offers, this survey asks active academics around the world for the best universities in their specialized fields. QS published the title of the work and the geographic distribution of participants.
In the 2017/18 rankings enjoyed responses from 75,015 people from over 140 countries, for its academic reputation score, including votes from the previous five years rolled forward provided there was no more recent information available from the same individual. Members can nominate up to 30 universities, but cannot vote for their own. They tend to assign a median of around 20, which means that this study includes over 500,000 data points. The average respondent has 20.4 years of academic experience, while 81% of respondents have more than a decade of experience in the academic world.
In 2004, when rankings first appeared, academic peer review accounted for half of a university's possible score. In 2005, its share was reduced to 40 percent due to the introduction of an employer reputation survey.
Faculty Ratio
This figure is 20 percent of the university's possible score in the rankings. This is a classic measure used in various rating systems as a proxy for teaching commitments, but QS acknowledged that it was less than satisfactory.
Faculty citation
Citations from published studies are one of the most widely used materials for national and global rankings universities. QS World University Rankings used citations from Thomson (now Thomson Reuters) data from 2004 to 2007, and has since used data from Scopus, part of Elsevier. Total number citations for a period of five years, divided by the number of scholars at the university to get the measure's score, which accounts for 20 percent of the university's possible ranking score.
QS clarified that he uses this approach rather than quoting on the paper preferred by other systems, as this reduces the effect biomedical science to the big picture - bio-medicine has a ferocious "publish or perish" culture. Instead, QS tries to measure the research density of active employees in each institution. But questions still remain regarding the use of citations in ranking systems, especially the fact that the arts and humanities generate relatively few citations.
However, since 2015, QS has made methodological improvements designed to eliminate the advantage of institutes specializing in the natural sciences and medicine previously received. This improvement is called faculty area normalization, and ensures that the institution's citation count in each of the five key QS faculty areas is weighted to a score of 20% of the final citation score.
QS conceded the presence of some data collection errors regarding faculty references in previous years' rankings.
One interesting issue is the difference between the Scopus and Thomson Reuters databases. For the world's major universities, the two capture systems are more or less the same publications and citations. For less mainstream institutions, Scopus has more non-English language and smaller circulating journals in its database. But because the papers aren't as heavily cited there, it could also mean less paper citation for the universities that publish in them. This area has been criticized for undermining universities that do not use English as their primary language. Citing and publishing in a language other than English is harder to come by. English language is the most internationalized language and therefore also the most cited.
employer overview
This part of the ranking is obtained in a similar way to the Academic Peer Review, except that it samples recruiters who hire graduates on a global or significant country scale. The numbers are smaller - 40,455 responses from over 130 countries in 2016 Rankings - and are used to produce 10 percent of any university's possible scores. This review was submitted in 2005 in the hope that employers track graduation quality, making this barometer of learning quality a notoriously problematic thing to measure. The university stood here of particular interest to potential students, and recognizing this was the spur of the inaugural QS graduate employability rankings published in November 2015.
International Orientation
The final ten percent of the university's possible score is derived from measures designed to capture their internationalism: five percent of their percentage of international students, and another five percent of their percentage of international staff. This is of interest partly because it shows whether the university is making an effort to be global, but also because it tells us whether it is taken seriously enough by students and academics around the world that they want to be there.
reception
In September 2015, both The Guardian and The Daily Mail referred to the QS World University Rankings as "the most authoritative of its kind". In 2016, Ben Sowter, Head of Research at the QS Intelligence Unit, was ranked 40th in Wonkhe's 2016 "Education Higher Education List". A list that the organization is considered to be the 50 most influential figures in the UK's higher education.
Several universities in the UK and the Asia-Pacific region commented positively on the rankings. Massey University New Zealand Vice-Chancellor Professor Judith Kinnear says the Times Higher Education-QS rankings are "remarkable outward confirmation of several attributes of a university, including the quality of its research, training, teaching and employment." She said the rankings are the true measure of a university's ability to fly high internationally: "In the rankings, Times Higher Education provides a much more and more sophisticated, reliable and well crafted measure of international and national ranking than any of the New Zealand Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) measures or Shanghai ratings." In September 2012, a British newspaper The Independent described the QS World University Rankings as "widely recognized in higher education as the most trusted international rankings".
Angel Calderón, Principal Planning and Research Adviser at RMIT University and member of the QS Advisory Board, spoke positively of the QS University Rankings for Latin America, stating that "QS Latin America University Rankings has become the annual international benchmark universities use to determine their relative position in the region" . He also stated that the 2016/17 edition of this ranking showed improved stability.
Criticisms
Some commentators have raised concerns about the use or misuse of survey data. However, QS Intelligence Unit and was responsible for compiling the rankings, the state, the extent of the sample size used for their research means that now they are "virtually impossible to manipulate, and very difficult for agencies in the 'game'". They also state that "over 62,000 academic respondents contributed to our 2013 academic results, four times as many as in 2010. Independent scientific reviews confirmed these results to be more than 99% reliable". In addition, since 2013, the number of respondents to the academic reputation survey QS has increased once again. Their study currently draws on approximately 75,000 scientific peer reviews, making it "by far the world's largest aggregation of sentiment in this [worldwide academic] community."
The QS World University Rankings have been criticized by many for having too much focus on peer review, which gets 40 percent of total score. Some people have expressed concern about the way in which the review is equal to the implementation. In a report, Peter Wills from the University of Auckland wrote about Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings:
But we also note that this study establishes its rankings by reaching out to university staff, even offering financial enticements to participate (Appendix II). Staff probably feel it is in their best interest to rank their own institution higher than others. This means that the results of the survey and any visible change in the rankings are highly questionable, and that high rating has no real intrinsic value anyway. We are categorically against the assessment of the university based on the results of such PR contests.
However, QS argue that no poll participant, academic or employer, is offered a financial incentive to respond, while non-academics will not be able to vote for their own institution. This makes this particular criticism invalid, as it is based on two incorrect premises: (1) that scientists currently have financial incentives to participate, and (2) that conflicts of interest are created by scientists being able to vote for their own institution .
Academics have previously criticized the use of the citation database, arguing that it underestimates the institutions that stand out in the social sciences. Ian Diamond, former Executive Director of the Economic and Social Research Council and now Vice-Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen and member of the editorial board, writes Times Higher Education in 2007, saying:
The use of a citation database must have an impact, because such databases do not have as broad a coverage of the social sciences (or arts and humanities) as the natural sciences. Thus, the low position at the London School of Economics, caused primarily by its citation score, is the result not of an outstanding institution's output, but of a database, and the fact that the LSE has no counterbalance to a large natural science base.
However, in 2015, the introduction of QS in the faculty area of normalization ensured that the QS rating no longer assigned an inappropriate advantage or disadvantage to any institution, based on their specific subject areas. Respectively, London School economy grew from 71st in 2014 to 35th in 2015 and 37th in 2016.
These rankings use some of the same criteria as the world rankings, but with modified weights and new criteria. One addition is a criterion for incoming and outgoing exchange students. Accordingly, the performance of Asian institutions in QS World University Rankings And QS Asian University Rankings released in the same academic year, differ from each other.
