QS World University Rankings

Which are the best universities in the world? Which ones stand out in the different branches of knowledge?

There are several international rankings that attempt to answer these questions to guide future students in selecting the best possible university. One of the most prestigious is the QS ranking, produced by the British consultancy specialized in education Quacquarelli Symonds, which analyzes more than 1,500 universities worldwide from 105 different educational systems.

In the most recent edition, corresponding to this year 2025, the ranking is headed, for the 13th consecutive time, by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, followed by Imperial College London, which rises four positions compared to the previous year. The University of Oxford is in third place, Harvard University is fourth, and the University of Cambridge is fifth.

The three countries with the most universities among the best in the world are the United States (197), the United Kingdom (90), and China (71).

To create this ranking, those responsible take into account a wide variety of factors, including student experience, teaching quality, research opportunities, and global partnerships, among others.

In addition to the global ranking, QS also offers very useful rankings by subjects or fields of study.

Additionally, QS provides other lists, such as the best cities in the world to study, which according to this ranking are currently London (United Kingdom), Tokyo (Japan), and Seoul (South Korea).

Adobe Podcast allows you to clean and enhance audio for free

The podcast creation tool Adobe Podcast has launched a new version of its free tool that allows users to clean audio with AI so that "voice recordings sound as if they were recorded in a professional podcast studio," according to Adobe's promise in the presentation of this solution.

For example, you can easily remove background noise from an audio file or echo and enhance voice clarity, as demonstrated in the demo video available on the website.

You can upload .wav, .mp3, .aac, .flac, .ogg, .oga, and .m4a files with a maximum duration of 30 minutes and a maximum size of 500 MB. The free solution has a limit of one hour per day.

Adobe Podcast allows you to record a podcast individually or with guests, edit it or improve the sound without having to download any software, directly on the web.

The Keyword, the blog to follow all Google news

Are you interested in keeping up with the latest Google news? The Keyword is the solution.

The Keyword is the name of Google's official blog and the place through which the company offers its latest news and shares details about its multiple products, programs, and activities.

The blog features contributions from some of the leading engineers, product managers, and internet pioneers who work on the company's products and services such as Google Search, Ads, Maps, Android, Chrome, Pixel or Play.. In addition, it also offers opinions from Google's top executives, including its CEO, Sundar Pichai.

The Keyword was launched in 2016 to replace more than a dozen blogs covering different company-related matters. The blog also serves to centralize breaking news about Google and announcements related to annual events such as Google I/O and Made by Google.

The Keyword has different sections grouped under two main areas: news about its products and news about the company.

Google's blog offers a newsletter that allows you to receive the company's main updates by email every week.

In addition to the English version, Google's blog has versions in other languages, including Spanish (for Spain and Latin America), or specific English versions for other areas of the world.
