QS Ranking Concerns

The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security has recently introduced preferential policies for settlement. For international students who graduated from the top 50 universities in the world, it has decided to cancel the social insurance premium payment base and payment time requirements. After such students go to Shanghai to work full-time, they can directly Apply for settlement. Similar policies emerge in an endless stream. Policies, further studies, and recruitment have higher requirements for students to graduate from colleges and universities. Students are required to graduate from the top 50-300 colleges and universities in the world.

Under the current situation that the ranking of students’ graduate colleges is rising for employment and settlement, students and parents can pay more attention to the universities ranked in the top 50 and prepare multiple-choice questions for the future.
