QS Stars defined

One Star – a typical one-star university has established all the key components required to provide a good standard of education to its students and, in many cases, the foundations upon which to build a strong domestic reputation. A one-star institution will often have been established within the last 20 years and will be putting in place the necessary leadership structures to take it to the next level. Two Stars – a typical two-star university is active in research and has an established domestic reputation. The institution is a key part of its local community and will often have begun to consider international opportunities.

Three Stars – a typical three-star university is nationally well recognized, and may have also begun to attract international recognition. This institution maintains a reputable level of research and its graduates are attractive to employers.

Four Stars – a typical four-star university is highly international, demonstrating excellence in both research and teaching. The institution provides an excellent environment for students and faculty.

Five Stars – a typical five-star institution is generally world-class in a broad range of areas, enjoys an excellent reputation and has cutting-edge facilities and internationally renowned research and teaching faculty.

About QS Intelligence Unit

QS Stars is rapidly growing into ‘the’ chosen evaluation system for universities worldwide. With institutions globally participating in the QS Stars program (Australia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, Ireland, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Sweden, United Arab Emirates and Ecuador), it is becoming established as an international standard.

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 are awarded a range of stars for their overall performance and are also awarded stars in each of eight assessed 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 is based ‘loosely’ on the Michelin star rating system for restaurants where an overall one star is still very much an outstanding achievement. 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 this 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.

QS Stars offer an international standard of comparison for any participating institution. This is particularly useful for universities that are focused on boosting their international brand awareness. It can include universities not traditionally well placed in rankings, as it can identify strengths that may have been overlooked in a rankings context. The award is licensed to an institution to highlight its star rating in all visual communications.

The QS Intelligence Unit (QSIU) strives to be the most trusted independent source of global intelligence in the higher education sector. Since 1990, QS has conducted research in a range of education and employment areas beginning with a global survey of MBA employers. The annual QS World University Rankings® have been produced since 2004, encompassing the most well-known range of research projects that QS operates. With operations in London and Singapore, QSIU delivers detailed analysis and is committed to the key values of rigorous integrity, undeniable value and accessible presentation.

Now, in response to increasing public interest in comparative data on universities and organizations and the growing demand from institutions to gain insight into their competitive environment, QSIU has added QS Stars to its portfolio of distinct services.

The QSIU team has a wealth of experience working in the higher education sector and employs a team of experienced and accomplished analysts. The team is a very international one with staff from over 15 countries, which enables us to understand and respect cultural differences.

Endorsements

Bertil AnderssonPresident, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

“NTU is a relatively young university, which has been developing rapidly in the last few years. The current ranking from QS is an affirmation that NTU today has a high international standing. The new QS Stars rating system further recognizes NTU’s strengths as a world-class university across a broader set of criteria than can be measured in any ranking system and provides valuable information for our many stakeholders - current students, prospective students, parents, teachers, employers, fellow academics as well as our local community.”

Jennie LangPro-Vice-Chancellor - UNSW International, University of New South Wales, Australia

“From now on all of our promotional material, our website, and our publications, will include both the QS Stars rating alongside the Australian government’s ERA analysis”

“Compared to an international ranking, QS Stars offers more of a framework for benchmarking. It’s something where criteria that are important can be measured over time, not just with our colleagues in Australia but with likeminded universities anywhere in the world, and that’s what really attracted us.”

“I think most universities will use QS Stars. Increasingly, discerning students who are much more knowledgeable about their opportunities, say ‘show me the evidence’. I sense that this is what the future is going to be - students wanting us not just to make these assertions, but to back them up.”

Edilio MazzoleniHead of Operations - International Office, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy

“QS Stars is a mechanism for us to project our specific strengths to the world. It has given us a better understanding of what are our weaknesses, as well as our strengths, within the university.”

Ailsa La MontExecutive Director - International, RMIT University, Australia

“QS Stars actually drills down to further detail, which will give students the choice to compare us more usefully with other institutions”

“We can use it to highlight the many diverse areas of strength that we have, and it will help us with our planning in areas such as branding, positioning, and telling us which areas to focus on.”

Show your strength

Using a broader range of criteriaQS Stars gives a university the opportunity to highlight its strengths, whether or not it appears in rankings. The rating system includes a broader range of criteria than traditional rankings.

Evidence based marketingQS Stars is produced through the independent expertise of the QS Intelligence Unit and generates the hard evidence to support an institution’s marketing claims.

International recognitionQS Stars provides an opportunity for universities to gain international recognition outside of rankings. It also benefits institutions where English is not the first language as the entire set of QS Stars indicators can be adapted to any national context. This is ideal for universities wishing to increase their capacity to attract international students.

Great auditing toolThe QS Stars audit assists an institution in the orderly collection and dissemination of key performance data. This is a joint effort with QSIU collecting part of the data, then guiding the institution in what is required from them. The end result is a comprehensive institutional report compiled by QS, which serves as a development road map, and a better preparedness to respond to internal and external calls for performance data.

Specialized subjects are highlightedUniversities that specialize in a particular subject area will be recognized for their excellence compared with their peers and will gain more exposure to their program. See page 7 for an example of specialized subject area badges.

Strong web presenceQS is proud to own some of the most popular research tools for university-bound students to utilize during their research process.

Methodology explained

Distribution of points

The objective of the QS Stars rating system is to assess universities according to a broader range of criteria, giving them a greater opportunity to stand out in their particular areas of excellence.

A star rating assesses institutional performance in greater detail than can feasibly be accommodated in ranking results. It can encourage users and readers to understand that ranking results ought to be analyzed and contextualized rather than simply taken at face value. It can also provide additional important information that may be used by prospective students during the earliest stages of the decision-making process for university applications.

Ratings are not dependent on the performance of other institutions, but evaluate an individual institution’s performance and measure it against pre-set thresholds.
