The QS rankings examined higher education performance at more than 1,200 universities from 78 locations, which were then categorised into 48 subject tables and five broad disciplinary tables.
More than 83,000 academics and 42,000 employers were polled, and QS also looked at research data from 150 million citations in 22 million academic papers.
Institutions are assessed on four main indicators: Academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper and an H-Index - which assesses faculty researchers' productivity and impact.
