§ Beta Launch -­‐ QS Maple 2015 -­‐ May 5-­‐7, 2015, Grand Hya[ Doha, Qatar.
§ We need to find addi3onal sources for arabic papers per faculty.
§ Infrastructure -­‐ may be added
§ Student Survey for teaching sa3sfac3on – may be added
§ Your feedback is crucial
§ We need to reach out, engage and educate ……

38. Understanding the

- What next?

39. § Does QS have all your university variation names?
§ Have you submitted your list of academic peers?
§ Have you submitted your list of employers?
§ Have you submitted the most accurate data?
§ What steps are you taking to ensure outreach?

40. Rankings have many faults and do
not adequately describe universities
and cannot show whether one
institution is better than another…
…but I am very happy when
Cambridge is rated as the top
university in the world

show of cards

speaking for and against the
motion putting their viewpoints

the sway of votes from the first
