The QS World University Rankings currently considers over 2,000 and evaluates over 700 universities in the world, ranking the top 400 with a methodology that considers  six indicators:

• 40% Academic Reputation from Global Survey
• 10% Employer Reputation from Global Survey
• 20% Citatations Per Faculty from Sciverse Scopus
• 20% Faculty Student Ratio
• 5% Proportion of Inernational Students
• 5% Proportion of International Faculty

In addition, rankings in five broad faculty areas are produced: Arts & Humanities, Engineering & Technology, Life Sciences & Medicine, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences & Management. These are based entirely on the results of our global academic survey unlike the more sophisticated approach taken to derive the QS World University Rankings by Subject.
