Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The QS World University Rankings for 2011/2012 were just released. Nearly 3,000 institutions were included in the latest rankings, and 712 of them feature in the results of the research. According to John O’Leary, an executive member of the QS Global Academic Advisory Board, "The outcome shows the increasingly competitive nature of global higher education, with 32 countries represented in the top 200, three more than last year."

As O’Leary notes, this year’s rankings emphasize the connection between continual investment and academic strength. "They do not measure institutional wealth, but the results show the benefit of sharply increased funding in several countries and the impact of cuts elsewhere." Over the past decade, the world’s biggest investment program in higher education has taken place in China, and as a result China has more universities in the QS World University Rankings than before. As in the past, universities were also ranked on the number of citations per faculty member and the percentages of international academics and students, along with staffing levels and academic and employer opinion.
