HumasUPNVJ - The global higher education landscape has undergone transformative changes over the last few decades, driven by rapid technological advances, increasing internationalization and changing societal expectations. As a result, universities around the world are forced to adapt and innovate to meet the demands of a knowledge-based economy and address complex global challenges. In this dynamic context, university rankings have emerged as influential benchmarks that guide students, academics, policy makers, and institutional leaders in making informed decisions.

Its role as a source of information and evaluation has grown significantly, thereby shaping perceptions of the quality, reputation and performance of institutions. These rankings play an important role in influencing student choices regarding study objectives, faculty recruitment, research collaborations, and institutional partnerships.
The QS World University Rankings have played an important role in increasing the visibility of universities. Therefore, it is important for our University to improve its QS ranking. A comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to a higher QS rating is essential for UPNVJ to execute the strategy.
