QS world rankings survey - have your say

Help shape Cardiff University’s global reputation by taking part in the QS World Rankings surveys.

We are inviting alumni, employers, and other Cardiff University partners to take part in the QS World University Rankings reputation surveys.

The QS World Rankings is one of the most-consulted independent evaluations of the world’s top 1,500 universities, drawing on surveys completed by employers and academics across the globe.

Rankings such as these play a key role in how students choose where to study, as well as impacting the reputation and global standing of universities. By taking part, you help ensure universities are judged on informed, real-world insight.

For alumni, this can add value to your degree, particularly with employers.
