Cantu. Professor of Research and Graduate Studies at Tecnológico de Monterrey “The process of accreditation by QS Stars required us to collect and compile information regarding our university and academic performance that until then had not been gathered systematically. But the enthusiastic support of our faculty and staff allowed us to demonstrate our high level of achievement, which resulted in an impressive number of stars in a wide range of fields. We are grateful to have had this opportunity to participate in a survey marked by high professional standards and backed by a supportive staff.” Elena López Díaz Delgado, Vicerrectora de Relaciones Internacionales, Universidad de Alcalá QS Quacquarelli Symonds QS Quacquarelli Symonds was founded in 1990 and has established itself as the leading global provider of information and solutions in higher education as well as careers.
