The rankings, designed to coincide with the moment at which students across the world begin to consider their university application choices, will evaluate 500 institutions across the world according to five key metrics, including: alumni outcomes, graduate employment rate, institutional employer engagement, and employer/student connections.

The rankings are also unique in including insight from over 42,000 employers across the world, providing the world’s student body with expert-sourced insight into the quality of graduate from their chosen institution.

The results are also designed to be of interest to all those concerned with university performance in their global, regional, and national contexts: university administrators, government policymakers, and parents.

We will be distributing customized press releases under embargo in local languages to:

1. All media in locations that have at least one featured university;
2. All ranked institutions;
3. Employer partners seeking to identify which universities have been identified by fellow hiring managers as producing outstanding graduates

by no later than Tuesday 4^th September.

If you would like to receive the global press release prior to this date, or would like data on a specific institution, group of institutions, or country, please notify me at jack@qs.com as soon as possible.
