QS World University Rankings (formerly known as – Times Higher Education–QS World University Rankings) is an annual publication of university rankings by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a well-recognized British company specializing in education. QS reviews the university-industry and provides an international ranking of universities thus successfully affecting how students and institutions engage.

When planning to study outside of their home-country an important decision factor for any student when choosing a university is the after-sale value of the qualifications offered. The QS ranking methodically evaluates the performance of universities to provide students with expert advice on the evaluation of institutions worldwide. The ranking system aims to satisfy the growing demand for more information on the quality of teaching staff and its reputation.
