QS Insights Magazine

Your go-to-source of higher education intelligence
A dynamic magazine hosted on a digital platform.

QS Insights Magazine features essays by – and interviews with – higher education leaders and global employers, as well as in-depth analysis of the rankings and articles on the latest hot topics in higher education.

In this edition’s cover story Making Decisions, we explore how AI tools in admissions can evoke fears of algorithms making decisions on students’ lives. While that is far from the reality, there are some concerns to be addressed – and some myths to be dispelled. The magazine also takes a look at how improved communication from universities may lead to more satisfied students, what a curriculum “for life” could look like, and the challenges MBA graduates face in the job market.
