QS World University Rankings

The international QS World University Rankings® is considered the most prestigious international university rankings along with the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It is the first compiler of international rankings to be independently audited and approved by the IREG Observatory on Academic Rankings and Excellence, which evaluates and critically examines existing international rankings. Palacký University entered it for the first time in 2016 and in the most recent ranking, the QS World University Rankings 2024, it ranks 631st to 640th, which is an improvement compared to the previous year, when it ranked 651st to 700th.

Similarly to other university rankings, the QS World University Rankings have long ranked science and research based on bibliographic databases of articles and citations. It also assesses the ratio of teachers to students, the proportion of international students, the proportion of academic staff and conducts surveys to assess the reputation of schools not only in the academic environment but also among employers. As of 2023 (QS World University Rankings 2024), three new indicators relating to sustainability, employment and international research network are now included in the rankings.

Palacký University performs best in one of the new indicators (International Reserach Network), in which it is ranked 292nd. It also ranks in the top 500 in the share of academic staff or reputation among employers.
