[sunting] Kritikan
THES - QS World University Rankings banyak dikritik sejak ia mula diperkenalkan pada tahun 2004 sebagai tidak mencerminkan keadaan keseluruhan dan mempromosi diri sendiri kerana ia menggunakan kategori yang lebih menguntungkan universiti di UK. Apa yang jelas, terdapat beberapa universiti di UK yang sentiasa mendapat kedudukan lima teratas dalam kedudukan THES.[1] Kedudukan THES juga dikritik kerana ia terlampau memberatkan tinjauan rakan sebaya yang menerima 40% daripada keseluruhan markah. Beberapa orang menyatakan rasa bimbang daripada segi ia dilaksanakan. Peter Wills[2], dari University of Auckland, New Zealand, menulis mengenai QS-THES Ranking:
| “ | "But we note also that this survey establishes its rankings by appealing to university staff, even offering financial enticements to participate (see Appendix II). Staff are likely to feel it is in their greatest interest to rank their own institution more highly than others. This means the results of the survey and any apparent change in ranking are highly questionable, and that a high ranking has no real intrinsic value in any case. We are vehemently opposed to the evaluation of the University according to the outcome of such PR competitions." | ” |
