Overview
If you want to see which higher education institutions are "new entrants" (newly added) to any of the QS Rankings datasets (e.g. World University Rankings, Academic Rankings, or Employer Reputation), you can do this easily from any given dataset.
Steps:
In the Report bar, choose the Index Report of the given Rankings Dataset (see below):
Next, set the Focus – Institution Selector to “Overview” (see above).
Toggle the “Group by” button from Rank to Change (the one with the opposite directional arrows):
*note - this toggle essentially functions as an 'Order by' control, letting you reorder the list.
In the Benchmark Peers dropdown, ensure you select "Clear Selections" (see below):
Using the bottom cursor, start scrolling to the right. You’ll first see the institutions that have moved down the most in the rankings.
Continue scrolling right, past those institutions — immediately after them, you’ll start to find all newly ranked universities (see below):
In the right-hand column (next to each institution’s name), look for the blue label “New.”
*this label indicates that the university has appeared in the dataset for the first time.
Notes:
“New” institutions can appear in any QS Rankings dataset (e.g. Subject Rankings, Regional Rankings, etc).
The universities displayed with label "New" is contingent upon and varies depending on the Benchmark period selected.
The “New” label applies to the Rankings dataset selected — thus if you change the dataset (e.g., Subject to Regional), the respective universities which are "New" will change.
