��˾��ֱ�� achieved particularly high scores in academic and employer reputation in this year’s QS World University Rankings, . To measure an institution’s academic reputation, QS surveys more than 94,000 higher education professionals on universities’ teaching and research quality. For employer reputation, QS asks nearly 45,000 employers to rank institutions in terms of which produce “the most competent, innovative, and effective graduates.”
