The global university ranking: significance and criteria
QS World University Rankings® by Subject is the most accredited international ranking for universities, providing authoritative comparative analyses of institutional performance worldwide. For this year’s rankings, QS Ranking assessed over 5,200 institutions across 55 academic disciplines, grouped into five broad subject areas.
In the Art & Design field, the Academic Reputation and Employer Reputation criteria were used to conduct this rigorous and independent comparative analysis. The first and most influential parameter, Academic Reputation, measures how universities are perceived by the global academic community through the QS Academic Survey, the world’s largest survey of academic opinions.
The second criterion, Employer Reputation, evaluates the ability of universities to train talented and highly skilled graduates who are ready to enter the professional world. This analysis is based on feedback from hiring managers and employers worldwide.
