QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2020

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is number-one. Stanford University is 2nd, and the University of California at Los Angeles is 3rd. The ranking is characterised by significant disparities between QS's overall QS World University Rankings and this exercise. In particular, Asia's top universities outperform continental Europe's leading institutions. The rankings therefore demonstrate that there is no perfect parallel between an outstanding reputational and research university, and an outstanding nurturer of student career outcomes.

To explore the university-employability relationship, QS use a unique five-metric method that captures each institution's regard among 44,000 employers worldwide, alma mater data from 29,000 highly successful individuals, institutional industry partnerships, employer presence on campus, and location-adjusted graduate employment rate.
