The QS World University Rankings categorize the world’s top universities by subject areas, covering 48 different subjects in 2019.

In the Hospitality and Leisure Management category, the survey included two criteria: academic and employer rating, used to assess institutions’ reputation among international scholars and industry leaders. In 2019, the QS World University Rankings draw on survey responses from 83,000 academics and 42,000 responses from graduate employers worldwide.

Our consistently high ranking and longstanding industry recognition are the result of years of academic innovation and commitment to enhancing the student experience, reflected most recently in the development of new industry-tailored course specializations and the opening of Roots, our farm-to-table, student-operated restaurant.”
