Dr. Ahmed Al-Banna, Director of the University's International Rankings Department, stated that the QS World University Rankings is an international academic ranking issued annually by the British higher education institution Quacquarelli Symonds. It aims to evaluate the performance of universities around the world based on a set of criteria that balance academic reputation, scientific research, international openness, and employment opportunities. These criteria include academic reputation (30%), university reputation among employers (15%), faculty-to-student ratio (10%), number of research citations per faculty member (20%), percentage of international students (5%), and percentage of international faculty members (5%). The latest edition of the rankings has also added an employment outcomes indicator (5%) and a sustainability indicator (5%), to more comprehensively reflect the quality of education and the global influence of academic institutions.
