Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), the prestigious UK-based education ranking organisation, has just released the QS Yearbook 2024, which evaluates and ranks universities worldwide in the QS World University Rankings list.
This is one of the world’s most widely recognised and reliable annual university rankings. The QS World University Rankings evaluate universities based on various rigorous criteria such as teaching quality, research, employer reputation, international student ratio, and more. The 5-star rating is the highest level, awarded to universities that achieve excellent scores across all criteria.
Globally, some renowned universities that have been rated 5 stars for many years by QS include Harvard University, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, and the National University of Singapore, among others.

In the ASEAN region, Thailand has two universities achieving a 5-star QS rating, the Philippines has one, Malaysia has fourteen, Indonesia has two, and Brunei has two.
In broad terms, universities awarded a 5-star rating by QS are considered top-tier universities on a global scale. These universities are characterised by their high-calibre faculty, cutting-edge academic programmes, state-of-the-art facilities, and vibrant international learning environment. Graduates from QS 5-star universities typically enjoy favourable job prospects with attractive salaries, thanks to the universities‘ esteemed reputation and the quality of education widely acknowledged by employers.
