The Faculty of Education has been ranked 33rd in the world and 7th in Australia according to this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject. The result recognises the commitment the Faculty’s staff and students have for high-quality education, and the Faculty’s good reputation not just in Australia but also internationally.  Indeed, what is likely to be of great interest to current and prospective students alike is the Faculty’s high ‘employer reputation’.

The QS World University Rankings by Subject is unique among university ranking systems in that it takes into account not only research impact, but also academic reputation and – crucially for students – employer reputation, measured by a survey of employers asking them to identify the universities that produce the best graduates. The employer reputation score for Education at UWA is higher than that of any other WA Education faculty, and even higher than that of UWA as a whole.

The 2014 QS World University Rankings attests to the increasingly outward-looking orientation of Faculty members. In recent years staff have engaged in international conferences, presenting papers and building research collaborations which have led to joint international publications in highly rated journals. In the 5 years from 2009, the number of high quality journal articles published by Faculty staff has increased nearly sixfold.

The QS rankings also show the good reputation of Education programs across all Australian universities, with nine of the country’s universities ranking in the top 40 for Education globally.
