The QS World University Rankings evaluate hundreds of universities globally using six key performance indicators that assess research, teaching, employability, reputation, sustainability and internationalisation. The methodology relies on global surveys focusing on academic reputation and employer reputation.
Nottingham performed strongly for employability and employer reputation, reflecting its position as the UK’s leading university for graduates entering highly skilled employment and 3rd in the UK for universities targeted by top employers.
The richness and diversity of the university’s international research partnerships also played a key role in its placement in this year’s ranking, recognising the role that Nottingham’s research plays in changing lives and finding solutions to global challenges.
Nottingham is known internationally as the birthplace of MRI and for its work driving advances in cancer treatment and pharmacy and discovering new insights into virology.
The university has the world’s largest group of researchers dedicated to ending modern day slavery by 2030 through evidence-based strategies and global collaboration and its experts are helping to tackle climate change by accelerating green technology innovations to achieve a zero-carbon future.
