The drafters of the rating of the best universities in the world QS World University Rankings assess universities on six metrics: research, teaching, opinion of employers and career potential, the number of foreign students and teachers. In order to participate in the ranking the University has to offer undergraduate and graduate programs, at least two broad subject areas (e.g., arts and social Sciences, engineering and technology, the right and business).
The QS focuses on the reputation of the universities in the academic environment.
Leaders of the QS for many years consistently are the universities of the USA and the UK. Read more about the U.S. education system and how to enroll in American universities can be found here. About British higher education and applying to British universities here.

An important feature of the QS – considerable attention to the reputation of the universities in the academic environment. The experts weigh 40 %.
The following important factors - the contribution to global scientific research activities and teaching quality - weight 20 %. Contribution to research activities is defined as the citation index of scientific discoveries of the University, designed for every individual. The quality of teaching is evidenced by the number of teachers per student.
Finally, 5% in the world ranking of universities QS weigh ratios of foreign and local students, as well as foreign and local teachers, in the aggregate, showing the degree of internationalization of the University.
