Stanford University has been named the best university in the world for graduate employability for the second consecutive year.
The American institution is one of five US universities in the top 10 of the QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2018, which assesses how successfully universities produce employable graduates and foster connections between students and employers.
Five indicators are used to assess universities in the graduate employability ranking: employer reputation, alumni outcomes, employer partnerships, employer-student connections and graduate employment rate. Of these, Stanford achieved a perfect score in three: employer reputation, alumni outcomes and partnerships with employers.
600 universities were considered for inclusion in this year’s ranking, twice as many as last year, with the top 495 published. See this year’s results in full here, or scroll down to see the top 10.
