The QS World University Rankings are a widely used measure across Higher Education and one of our University of Huddersfield ‘Ground-breaking Research’ KPIs.

An increased ranking can encourage international collaboration, boost industry partnerships, boost student recruitment and enhance funding opportunities. We will uncover the QS methodology, look at how to approach the process more strategically for greater impact, and encourage you to play your part as university staff in improving our ranking.
