UBC received an impressive 81.5 in the overall assessment. Prior to this year's rankings, UBC had never been ranked higher than 43rd by QS.



About the QS World University Rankings


The QS World University Rankings assign ratings to 1400 post-secondary institutions based on a five-factor strategy. Here's an overview of the parts and their influences:

Academic reputation (40%): is based on surveys of professionals involved in higher education teaching and research.

Faculty/student ratio (20%): QS believes that institutions with low student-to-faculty ratios and small class sizes offer a more personalized and collaborative learning environment.

Citations per faculty (20%): This component counts the number of times articles written by faculty members at an institution have been cited in the past five years. It indicates the institution's credibility in the field of academic publications.

Employer reputation (10%): Inquiries with employers around the world drive them to name universities. They assert the development of highly employable graduates both locally (up to 10) and globally (up to 30).

International faculty/student ratio (10%): This factor evaluates the proportions of international faculty members to domestic faculty members and international students to domestic students. Data is acquired from universities and reviewed against government records where possible, with each sub-ratio receiving a 5% weight in the total rating.
