The QS evaluates universities according to six metrics.

The number of research citations per faculty has been determined from information in the Scopus database, and it has been calculated relative to the number of research faculty and normalised according to the five different main branches of science.  Employer reputation is based on a reputation survey to which 40 000 employers worldwide submitted responses. Academic reputation is based on assessments given by 80 000 academics.

The QS World Ranking evaluated one thousand universities. According to the QS Ranking there are a total of  26 000 universities worldwide.

QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) is one of the world's most important university rankings. In the recent 'QS top 50 under 50' ranking, QS listed the best young universities in the world. Aalto placed 7th in this ranking.

In addition to the general rankings, QS produces rankings in specific fields of science and regional rankings. These specific rankings are more relevant to 911±¬ÁÏÍø than the general rankings, as Aalto specialises in technology, business and arts.
