Three Cycles. Nine Rankings.
One Submission Per Cycle
Structured across three annual ranking cycles, with three specialised rankings in each cycle. Participating institutions complete just one consolidated data submission per cycle, which is mapped independently across three separate ranking methodologies.
What the Q3 Cycle Examines
The Q3 Cycle evaluates the complete student-to-graduate journey across student experience, institutional support, wellbeing, employability, career progression and alumni outcomes. It brings together how students experience an institution, how they are supported, and what happens after graduation.
Why It's More Than Just a Rank
Q3 goes beyond an ordinal position by providing institutions with scores, indicator-level insights, benchmarking perspectives and recognition across specialised performance dimensions. It is designed to help institutions understand both strengths and areas for development.
Why Participate in the Q3 Cycle?
One single submission in these rankings offers a focused view of performance across Graduate Success, Student Experience and CARE, while reducing reporting through one integrated submission. It also enables strategic benchmarking across outcomes, support systems and the wider student journey.
Lower institutional reporting burden with sector-focused ranking assessment.
A single integrated submission undergoes three focused evaluations, resulting in three independent outcomes. The strategic evolution spans from Q1's focus on Responsibility, Connectivity, and Innovation, through Q2's drive to Create, Connect, and Resonate, ultimately leading to Q3's emphasis on Experience, CARE, and Success.
