What is shown. Each university's overall position in the QS World University Rankings, for the five editions from 2023 to 2027. QS names each edition after the year following publication: the 2027 edition was published on 18 June 2026. We show the rank exactly as QS displays it, including "=" for joint ranks, and never turn a published band into an exact rank. We show no overall or indicator scores. None of the 24 universities is banded or missing in these editions.
The 2024 methodology change. The 2024 edition, published on 27 June 2023, introduced three new indicators (Sustainability, Employment Outcomes and International Research Network) and changed the weights of the existing ones. A move between the 2023 and 2024 editions can therefore reflect the new method rather than a change at the university. QS's current weights are: Academic Reputation 30%, Citations per Faculty 20%, Employer Reputation 15%, Employment Outcomes 5%, Faculty Student Ratio 10%, International Faculty Ratio 5%, International Research Network 5%, International Student Ratio 5%, International Student Diversity 0% and Sustainability 5%. QS reviews the weights each year. See QS's methodology page and its note on the 2024 changes.
