QS WUR is a ranking in which the results of an international opinion survey conducted by the organiser among academics and employers play a key role (Academic Reputation: 30% of the score; Employer Reputation: 15%). The remaining criteria relate to publications (Papers per Faculty), citations (Citations per Paper), the number of academic staff and students, including international ones (International Faculty, International Student Diversity, Faculty Student Ratio), as well as sustainability.
