QS Senior Vice President Ben\u00a0Sowter<\/b>\u00a0said: “The QS World University Rankings serve as\u00a0a benchmark for higher education performance, informing decision-making worldwide.<\/i><\/p>\n

“The US\u00a0still leads global higher education, though the map is shifting\u00a0as institutions across Asia and the Middle East\u00a0translate\u00a0strong investment\u00a0into measurable gains.<\/i><\/p>\n

“The picture in Europe\u00a0is mixed, with\u00a0emerging systems strengthening their global standing through long-term funding and innovation policies,\u00a0while others show signs of stagnation.”<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n
