QS ranking is the most representative and extensive university ranking at present, which is just as famous as Times Higher Education World University Ranking, USNews World University Ranking and ARWU academic ranking of world universities. But many friends still don't know much about it. Today, let's take a look at the qs rankings of British schools. 1. What is the qs ranking of British schools? QS World University Ranking is an annual world university ranking published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS for short), a British international education market consulting company. QS Company initially cooperated with Times Higher Education (referred to as THE), and jointly launched the -QS World University Ranking, which was first released in 2004 and is an earlier global university ranking. Since 20 10, QS and QQ have terminated their cooperation and started to publish their respective world university rankings. QS Global Education Group generally updates its ranking every summer. QS World University Ranking 20 10 is recognized by the IREG- International Academic Ranking and Excellence Association established by the International University Ranking Expert Group (IREG), and it is one of the most influential rankings in the world. Together with Times Higher Education World University Ranking, American News World University Ranking and World University Soft Science Academic Ranking, it is recognized as the four more authoritative world university rankings. QS World University Ranking is based on academic reputation, employer reputation, teacher-student ratio, research citation rate and degree of internationalization. Because of its open and transparent questionnaire survey form, it has been rated as one of the most eye-catching universities in the world, but it has also been criticized for its excessive subjective indicators and commercialization indicators. The QS ranking was launched in cooperation with the academic publishing group Elsevier. At present, it covers QS World University Rankings, QS World University Rankings, QS Intercontinental University Rankings, QS Regional University Rankings, QS World Youth University Rankings, QS Global MBA Rankings, QS Best City for Studying Abroad, QS Graduates' Employment Competitiveness Rankings and QS Star University Rating System. Second, the type of QS ranking. There are many kinds of QS rankings based on disciplines, regions and other factors: 1, QS world university rankings; 2.QS world university discipline ranking; 3.QS world university regional ranking; 4.QS BRICS University Rankings; 5.QS Asian University Rankings; 6.QS Arab University Rankings; 7.QS EECA University Ranking; 8.QS Latin American University Rankings; 9.QS world universities are ranked by location; 10, QS ranking of Chinese mainland University (QS ranking of Chinese mainland University). 2018101,QS20 19 Chinese mainland university rankings were officially released. The first release of QS Chinese mainland University Rankings aims to independently analyze the performance of universities in Chinese mainland, so as to announce the top universities in Chinese mainland 100. However, the official website of QS shows that only 99 universities are on the list, ranking 30th. The QS World University Ranking covers more than 1 1000 positions, involving 46 different academic fields and divided into five disciplines: arts and humanities, social sciences and management, natural sciences, engineering and technology, life sciences and medicine. This is by far the largest and most complicated university ranking. The top 50 young universities in QS world are ranked as universities with less than 50 years of schooling, and the evaluation criteria are the same as those in QS world university rankings. 20 15 announced the universities ranked at 565438- 100 for the first time from 20 10 1-600. Third, how to refer to the QS ranking? Faced with these dazzling rankings and standards, many students are very confused-so how to treat the rankings professionally? How to use these rankings to choose schools? Here I want to give you three suggestions: 1. Looking for alumni: pay attention to the first-hand information and experience of seniors. When applying for choosing a school, students must learn and refer to the first-hand information provided by their brothers and sisters or experienced people. "There are channels to go and no channels to create channels." This is my years of experience. My students generally accept that I will contact their seniors and sisters to communicate directly online and form a community. The information given by alumni is very important. They will give information that is not available on the Internet, such as the curriculum and research direction of professors who want to choose schools and majors. Students can decide to apply for schools according to their "fellow experiences" and their hobbies, as well as their future academic and work directions. 2, only look at the numbers, but also look at the standards. Many students are very concerned about whether they can get into the top 30 when applying, especially about this number. Some students even think that the rankings of 3 1 and 29 seem to be worlds apart. Students, when referring to these rankings, we can't just look at the rankings and ignore the ranking standards. The reference index of ranking is the information that we should pay more attention to. For example, some rankings focus on the undergraduate strength of major universities, while others focus on the evaluation of the strength of graduate schools. Even some rankings for American universities even include the rankings of college football teams in the evaluation criteria. Therefore, students must pay attention to the factors they value, such as academic strength, school location, tuition fees, employment factors and so on. 3. Look at the professional strength, the school's ongoing projects, and guide the professor's "official website Digging". Choose a school as carefully as you get married. You can find a lot of information on official website. For example, professional strength and professors, or the current project of a major in this school is more important than the school ranking. Some schools with low-key luxury and connotation may not rank very well, but their academic strength and professionalism are extremely strong, and they are recognized as trump cards in the industry. For example, Scripps Institute may not see its name in the ranking of comprehensive universities, and its school is one of the top ten biomedical research institutes in the United States. The application is quite difficult and the academic development prospect is very clear. This school is obsessed with academics every day and doesn't even care about its own reputation marketing. Few people in China have heard of it, but in the professional field, this school can be described as a "great victory" level. Don't be blinded by the school's reputation and ranking. The above is about "what is the qs ranking of British schools". By the way, introduce the types of QS ranking and how to refer to it. Finally, I wish everyone can be admitted to their favorite universities!
