Mark Sudbury, Head of World 100 and Reputation, reviews the QS World University Rankings 2024

We are pleased to announce that this year’s World 100 Annual Conference will be hosted by the University of Birmingham on 10 & 11 October

Geopolitical tensions and freedom of speech issues are testing universities the world over. To successfully manage their reputations, they must avoid getting distracted by all the noise, says Mark Sudbury

The gathering of more than 100 leaders at Abu Dhabi University for the inaugural THE MENA Reputation Forum produced a day of debate and sharing, adding a particular Arab World flavour to the global discussion about higher education reputation.

The results, announced on 24 January, reflect the important role of global reputation, with data from THE Academic Reputation Survey focusing on votes from outside a university’s home country representing 25% of the total score in this ranking.

Mark Sudbury, Head of The World 100, shares his thoughts on how reputation played out for him as a parent during the process of supporting his son applying to study at university (in the UK).
