King's College London rises in world league tables
King’s College London, part of King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre, has risen two places to 21st position in the world in the 2010 QS international world rankings, formerly the Times Higher Education/QS rankings.
QS World University Rankings measure university research quality, graduate employability, teaching commitment and international commitment. QS rankings use a combination of global surveys and audited data including citation counts from Scopus, the world’s largest database of academic publishing.
The Principal of King’s College London, Professor Rick Trainor, commented, ‘Naturally I am delighted that King’s College London continues to rise in this important international league table and all credit must go to the staff and students of the College who work hard in the pursuit of excellence.'
In this year’s table the top spot is taken by Cambridge for the first time, overtaking Harvard which has held the position since 2004.
