QS methodology of excellence
This methodology “considers academic reputation, the student-to-faculty ratio, the percentage of staff with doctorates, the international research network, citations per article, articles per faculty member, and web impact.”
Each factor represents a percentage of the evaluation: academic reputation represents 30 % of the result and employer reputation 20 %. The student-to-faculty ratio and the percentage of staff with doctorates each represent 10 %; the international research network and citations per article each represent 10 %. while articles per professor and web impact each contribute 5 %.
