The QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2017 will be published on TopUniversities.com on 23 November 2016. This is the first full edition of the ranking, following a pilot last year.
Celebrating 300 of the world’s leading universities in the field of graduate employability, the ranking awards scores in five categories:
- Employer reputation (based on a global survey of graduate employers)
- Alumni outcomes (mapping of educational paths to leadership lists)
- Employer partnerships (engagement with industry in research and other areas)
- Employer-student connections (opportunities to connect on campus or online)
- Graduate employment rates (adjusted to account for national averages)
Each university is awarded an overall score, and the results can also be sorted to compare performance in each of these five categories.
Developed in response to global demand for information about employability, the ranking is designed to help prospective students compare their options internationally. It provides a complement to the overall QS World University Rankings®, allowing applicants to get a clearer idea of how institutions measure up on factors directly related to employability.
