This measure is designed to represent the level of teaching standard of each programme. The results incorporate data from QS's proprietary QS Academic Survey, which captures the sentiments of over 100,000 academics globally. We look at how much individual attention a student receives, whether the course is consistently being completed and the data from the academic survey.
This data is collected on an annual basis and the reporting period the previous academic year.
We collect the following data from schools:
- Full-Time Faculty
- Number of Students in the programme
- Degree completion rate
While the Academic Reputation is collected via the QS Academic Survey.
The data is normalized by z-scores.
Weights of the subcomponents in the faculty and teaching measure:
Academic Reputation | 15% |
Full-time Faculty/Student Ratio | 10% |
