On February 27^th, the world-famous and influential university ranking authority Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) released this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject. The Faculty of Education (FOE) of Beijing Normal University achieved the 29^th place in the Education Subject Ranking, a new historical best for FOE. It is the second time FOE has been placed within the top 30. (In 2017, QS ranked FOE as the 30^th in the list.)

With this result, FOE holds the highest ranking among all the departments of education in Mainland China.

QS established four indicators to compile this ranking: Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations per Paper, and H-Index Citations. In this year’s ranking, FOE has obtained 81.4, 69.1, 83.2, and 70.2 in these four criteria respectively, with an overall score of 78.3.

QS releases the Education Subject Ranking annually since 2012. FOE has made significant progress in several categories over the years, which testifies to the achievements FOE has made in its overall development, cultivation of talents, academic research, social service, and international exchanges. The high ranking FOE has accomplished this year further consolidates the Faculty’s comparative advantage and will facilitate the expansion of its influence on the global stage.
