How Were the Rankings Compiled?

The rankings are compiled by a process of peer assessment, drawn from a rolling three-year survey of over 5,000 academics across the world (40% of the final score comes from this survey), a survey of almost 1,500 graduate recruiters (10%), with the remaining 50% coming from quantitative measures including staff-student ratio (20%), research papers citation scores (20%), proportion of staff from overseas (5%) and proportion of students from overseas (5%).
