London, 6th September 2016: The thirteenth edition of the QS World University Rankings, compiled by global higher education think tank QS Quacquarelli Symonds, today confirms Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as the world’s best university for a fifth consecutive year.
Turkey’s Bilkent University drops out of the top 400. Bilkent University drops 26 places, and it now ranks 420th. This year’s results indicate that Turkey’s universities are falling. They are performing well for graduate employability. However, they are struggling to produce high-impact research.

· Koç University is Turkey’s only university to rise this year. It jumps from 481-490th to 451-460th;
· All but one of Turkey’s institutions receives a lower global rank for research this year. This is measured using QS’s citations per faculty;
