The QS Graduate Employability Rankings is the result of an extensive research project which has been running since October 2014 and is a pilot initiative, with a methodology subject to changes for the next editions.

This project’s aim is to design a new approach to, and a new methodology for, employability in university rankings.

The methodology for the QS Graduate Employability Rankings differs from that found in the global rankings, using different indicators and changing the weighting of the existing indicators which it retains.

QS has undertaken extensive research with the help of university leaders worldwide, reading academic papers and talking to employers & student representatives to identify a suitable methodology – over 50 universities have had the opportunity to provide feedback and insights since October 2014.
