Ranks exactly as QS displays them. Not our assessment. · "=" marks a joint rank. A range such as 601-650 is a band QS publishes instead of an exact rank. Blank means QS does not list the university in that edition. The 2024 edition changed QS's methodology, so ranks either side of it are not directly comparable. We show no scores. About the data.

QS World University Rankings: overall world rank by edition, 2023 to 2027
1 is at the top. Each chart has its own scale, so compare the rank labels, not the slopes. The dashed line marks the 2024 methodology change.
Ranks as published by QS. We do not endorse any ranking methodology.
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.
