LONDON, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global higher education think-tank QS Quacquarelli Symonds have named the world's top 500 universities for nurturing graduate employability. The 2020 QS Graduate Employability Rankings offer authoritative, independent, multivariate data regarding the relationship between university choice and career outcomes. In so doing, they meet growing student demand for information about the potential employment benefits their education might offer.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is number-one. Stanford University is 2nd, and the University of California at Los Angeles is 3rd. The ranking is characterised by significant disparities between QS's overall QS World University Rankings and this exercise. In particular, Asia's top universities outperform continental Europe's leading institutions. The rankings therefore demonstrate that there is no perfect parallel between an outstanding reputational and research university, and an outstanding nurturer of student career outcomes.
To explore the university-employability relationship, QS use a unique five-metric method that captures each institution's regard among 44,000 employers worldwide, alma mater data from 29,000 highly successful individuals, institutional industry partnerships, employer presence on campus, and location-adjusted graduate employment rate.
Executive Summary
MIT retains the dual honour of being both world number-one in QS's overall exercise, and the world number-one for employability;
The employer dataset used for the Employer Reputation indicator is the world's largest repository of employer insight into graduate quality;
Asia's leading university is Tsinghua University in Mainland China, which ranks 6th, followed by the University of Hong Kong (9th), and Peking University (19th) , The University of Tokyo (23rd) and National University of Singapore (24th);
Latin American top universities are: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (33rd) and Mexico's Tecnológico de Monterrey (40th) both achieve top-50 ranks;
Continental Europe's top university is Switzerland's ETH Zurich, which places 17th;
The UK leading universities are Cambridge (8th) and Oxford (10th);
