UNSW awarded five stars

UNSW has become the first Australian university to be awarded five stars in the new QS Stars rating system, which measures performance against international benchmarks.

The star ratings system assesses performance at an unprecedented level of detail. Universities are awarded an overall rating out of five stars, but also receive ratings in 30 assessed areas, giving prospective students a far more comprehensive overview of institutional strengths and weaknesses.

UNSW Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International), Jennie Lang, said the University plans to use the QS Stars, designed to complement the QS World University Rankings, as a quality mark to enhance its brand internationally.
