The QS World University Rankings 2024 includes 1,500 institutions from 104 regions and are the only rankings of their kind that emphasise employability and sustainability.
The announcement of the QS World University Rankings 2024 has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion around the world. The ranking not only reflects the strength of universities in academics, research and teaching, but also takes into account the employability and sustainability of universities. This change undoubtedly provides new development directions and challenges for universities.
The latest edition of the 20th edition of the University Rankings implements the largest improvement in the ranking methodology ever, introducing three new measures: sustainability, employment outcomes and international research networks.
The results draw on an analysis of 17.5 million academic articles** and expert opinions from more than 240,000 academics and employers.
In my opinion, the introduction of three new measures of sustainability, employment outcomes and international research networks in QS is very forward-looking and practical. This will not only encourage universities to pay more attention to social and environmental issues and improve the employability of university students, but also promote cooperation and exchanges in the field of international research and improve the level of global scientific research.

Friends, is your alma mater on the list? What do you think of QS's university rankings? Feel free to share in the comment section Any ranking has its limitations and controversy. Although the QS rankings cover as many measures as possible, it is still difficult to fully reflect the overall strength and characteristics of each university.
For example, some small universities with excellent performance in certain areas may be overlooked because of their low overall rankings. Therefore, when we look at the QS ranking, we should not only see its reference value, but also remain rational and objective.
Personally, my alma mater is not included in this ranking, but that doesn't mean I don't think my alma mater is deficient in academics, research, and teaching. On the contrary, I believe that my alma mater has unique strengths and characteristics in many aspects, providing me with a rich learning and living experience.
Overall, the QS World University Rankings provide us with a new perspective on how to look at and understand universities around the world, but we also need to look at and assess the strength and performance of universities in a more comprehensive and in-depth way.
