About this edition
Scope and dates
Edition 2027, revision 15 was issued on 5 October 2026. Base research was completed on 30 September 2026, with additions and selected ranking checks on 1 October 2026. The directory covers 35 destinations, 571 featured institutions and 1,131 further listings. It is a selected international directory, not an exhaustive register.
Individual fees, scholarships and statistics retain their stated year. The edition label does not convert an earlier reference into a confirmed 2027 quotation. Approximate USD conversions use dated 29–30 September 2026 rates.
How to use rankings and references
QS means Quacquarelli Symonds. Selected verified overall QS World University Rankings 2027 appear beside institutions. An equals sign indicates a tied rank; a range is a rank band. An unlabelled institution has not been assigned a rank in this edition. Overall rankings do not establish the suitability or accreditation of every course.
Country chapters distinguish the education system, admissions, assessments, funding and institutional recognition. Official references accompany the relevant sections. Institutions and authorities determine current admission and regulatory terms.
