LONDON, Sept. 23, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

The world’s best universities for graduate employment

QS Quacquarelli Symonds, global higher education analysts, released their

annual deep dive into the relationship between university choice and graduate

employment outcomes. The result is the 2022 QS Graduate Employability Rankings

[https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/employability-rankings/2022

]: an independent list of the world’s top institutions for career-focused

students.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is named global employability leader,

achieving perfect scores in three of the five indicators used by QS to compile

the table.

The QS Graduate Employability Rankings

[https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/employability-rankings/2022

] offer a more-granular comparative examination of the work universities are

doing to cultivate propitious pathways into high-quality employment.

Universities are rated on partnerships with employers (including internships),

the number of sectoral leaders among their alumni, the frequency with which

employers are present on campus, and a location-adjusted graduate employment

rate.

Highlights include:

- Stanford University (2nd) and the University of California, Los Angeles

(3rd) complete an all-American top three.

- The University of Sydney is the top non-American institution (4th). It is

joined in the top ten by the University of Melbourne (8th).

- Asia’s leader is China’s Tsinghua University (6th).

- Only one British university attains a top-ten place: the University of

Oxford (7th, up from 10th).

- The University of Hong Kong ranks 10th.

- France’s Institut Polytechnique de Paris (12th, new entrant) ranks #1 in

continental Europe.

- Canada’s leader is the University of Toronto (21st). It is joined in the top

25 by the University of Waterloo (24th).

- Mexico’s Tecnologico de Monterrey (26th) is Latin America’s leader.

- The Arab Region is home to one top-100 institution: American University of

Beirut (73rd).

Ben Sowter, Director of Research, QS, said: “With students becoming

increasingly conscious of the competitiveness of the global graduate jobs

market, and of the ever-increasing financial costs of their educational

investment, it is crucial that independent data of this sort is available to

them, to inform evidence-based decisions about their educational futures. With

Australian institutions performing better at the top than British ones, and

with a variety of universities in Latin America and Asia outperforming their

overall rank, it is also clear that it is valuable to shine a unique light on

outstanding employability performance – one that rewards institutions

successfully fulfilling this critical aspect of their mission.”
