The QS World University Rankings had been based on universities’ academic reputation and research outcomes, among others.
Our curiosity due o alumni affiliation here on Scandinavian Companies and Market is the absence of Goteborg University in particular ands the weak presentation of Swedish universities overall. Question can some one et us know what is the problem with Goteborg University?
