QS Senior Vice President Ben Sowter said, 鈥淨S鈥 analysis of performance trends across nearly 16,000 university departments worldwide continues to illuminate factors influencing the quality of higher education institutions globally. An international outlook remains paramount, manifested through diversity of students, faculty body and research relationships. Additionally, universities experiencing upward mobility have benefited from sustained, targeted investment, highlighting the importance of government support. Meanwhile, the development of partnerships with industry correlates with improved performance in employment and research.鈥
Sowter continued, 鈥淭his examination of university performance comes at a pivotal time given the challenges posed by global inflation and geopolitical instability. The latter, identified by The World Economic Forum in 2023 as a major risk to organisations worldwide, presents considerable, unforeseeable challenges and opportunities as more than half the world's population in more than 50 countries participate in one of the most significant election years in history. Against this backdrop, the importance of safeguarding and supporting higher education and international mobility around the world has never been more essential as it drives societal progress and innovation.鈥
