5 сентября опубликован новый рейтинг университетов мира - QS World University Ranking 2011/12.

Для составления рейтинга QS используются шесть показателей - репутация в академической среде (это основной критерий), отношение к выпускникам университета работодателей, цитируемость публикаций сотрудников вуза, соотношение числа преподавателей и студентов, а также относительная численность в университете иностранных преподавателей и студентов.

Из 20 000 существующих в мире университетов - сектор из 2919 учебных заведений был оценен QS.

Среди первых 300 мест обнародованых 5 сентября - Украинских вузов нет .

Полный список, из топ-700 университетов, будет опубликован только 12 сентября.

Возглавляет первую десятку в этом году Кембридж (предыдущие шесть лет лучшим вузом мира в рейтинге QS был Гарвард). Также в топ-10 вошли Гарвард, Массачусетский технологический университет, Йельский университет, Оксфорд, Имперский колледж Лондона, Университетский колледж Лондона, Чикагский, Пенсильванский и Колумбийский университеты.

Два ведущих российских вуза – МГУ и СПбГУ – не прошли в первую сотню списка, опустившись на несколько позиций по сравнению с прошлым годом.
Московский государственный университет имени Ломоносова на 112-ом месте(в 2010 год МГУ занимал 93-е место, в 2009 - 101-е, а в 2008 - 183-е). Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет занял 251 место.

Агентство QS составляет рейтинг с 2004 года. До недавнего времени рейтинг вузов ежегодно представлял британский журнал The Times Higher Education. Но с прошлого года журнал отказался от сотрудничества, чему предшествовал скандал с ошибками, допущенными составителями рейтинга, которые те, впрочем, признали.

Теперь, The Times Higher Education будет публиковать собственный рейтинг при участии информационной группы Thomson Reuters и службы изучения общественного мнения Ipsos Media, обладающими большим авторитетом в проведении подобных исследований.
