More about QS World University Rankings
The QS World University Rankings are university rankings initiated by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) which includes rankings and scores of faculties as well as individual subjects based on a set of judging indices. QS also provides additional regional rankings, the QS Asian University Rankings and the QS Latin American University Rankings, both of which are different and independent to the major world rankings due to differences in the criteria and weightings used to generate them.
The QS World University Rankings is considered as one of the three most widely referred influential international university rankings, other than the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
