Share your views on the research activity and impact of other universities across the globe and help us on our way to being a world top 150 university.
Improving the reputation of the University benefits the whole staff and student community and more broadly, our fantastic city. It has a positive influence on a wide variety of University activity such as staff and student recruitment, funding and industry partnerships, policy engagement and advocacy, as well as our global reputation and the impact of our research. Support for people and partners around the world who have worked with us on research collaborations can substantially enhance our reputational standing and theirs.
Established in 2004, the QS World University Rankings have become one of the world’s most popular sources of comparative data about university performance, and a central element is the Academic Reputation Index, based on votes from academics from around the world. The survey is open from February 2024 and takes around 6-10 minutes to complete.
As you will know, every year the University invites staff to nominate their external research collaborators across the world who are then invited to participate in the QS survey. However, University of Aberdeen staff also have the opportunity to assist with the QS World University rankings by joining in with the survey through self-sign up. Share your views on other universities’ global research activity and impact, and support your favourite collaborators. Hopefully they will do the same for you!
Sign up before 12 January 2024 to be considered for the next survey. You can join in by registering to receive the survey here; QS Global Academic Survey - Sign Up 2024.
The QS survey* will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
If you have any questions, please contact planning@abdn.ac.uk.
Thank you in advance for your support!
* QS will not contact you for any other reason, or for more than two editions of their annual survey, without supplementary or separate consent. Your responses will be combined with those of many others around the world to form academic reputation indicators used in the QS World University Rankings at global, regional, subject and programme levels where relevant.
