Employer Reputation Score
A ranking metric based on surveys of global employers, measuring how well they regard graduates from a particular university.
Employer reputation scores reflect how hiring managers and recruiters worldwide perceive graduates from different universities. QS surveys over 75,000 employers to compile this metric, which accounts for 10% of the overall QS ranking. Universities with strong employer reputation scores typically have robust career services, active alumni networks, and established industry partnerships that facilitate graduate employment.
