Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), an international higher education rating and analytics organization, recently released an assessment report awarding a five-star QS Stars rating to the Business English program at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE), making it the first Business English program in China to receive this distinction.
QS is one of the world's leading organizations specializing in higher education research and analytics. Alongside U.S. News & World Report and Times Higher Education (THE), QS is widely recognized for its global university rankings. In China, institutions that have undergone QS Stars assessments include Zhejiang University, the University of Science and Technology of China, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The five-star QS Stars rating represents another milestone in SWUFE's internationalization efforts. It reflects the University's sustained commitment to the New Liberal Arts initiative, continued reforms in undergraduate education, and efforts to advance international education. The recognition also highlights SWUFE's achievements in faculty development, student support, and teaching quality assurance.
