The QS Stars rating system is operated by the QS Intelligence Unit, the independent compiler of the QS World University Rankings® since 2004. The system
evaluates universities across a wide range of important performance indicators as set against pre-established international standards. By covering a broader
range of criteria than any world ranking exercise, QS Stars shines a light on both the excellence and the diversity of the rated institution.

QS Stars is rapidly growing into the chosen evaluation system for universities worldwide.
With over 140 institutions globally participating in the QS Stars program in more than
30 countries, it is an international standard that is becoming increasingly recognized.
QS Stars uses a rating system that allows a university to shine irrespective of its size,
shape and mission. At the end of the audit process universities receive a QS Stars
Development Roadmap and are awarded stars for their overall performance and each
of the category criteria.
The number of stars awarded at the overall and category levels will resonate with
international students, parents and university staff, and become a valuable asset to add
to your marketing collateral and outreach.
QS Stars uses a wide range of indicators to measure the performance of an institution.
It is an opportunity for universities to highlight their strengths through awarded
recognition. When associated with an institution’s brand, it acts as a powerful
marketing mechanism for communicating distinct areas of strength to students,
parents, academics, employers and the wider community.
