Top universities
The best-ranked universities in the 12 countries we cover, by field, with an identity card for the top 100: location, presentation, strengths, admission and contact.
What rankings measure
QS combines academic and employer reputation surveys, research citations, staff per student and international mix. It says a lot about research and reputation, little about teaching or how happy students are.
Look at the field first
A university can be world-class in one subject and average in another. Use the subject lists below, then the fields of study guide.
Rank is not admission
Each system admits differently: grades, tests, holistic review. Check the identity card, then the chances tool and the cost calculator.
