Our methodology for the European ranking:
France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom
Compiled from the Universum Student Surveys conducted in 6 European markets.
Which employers are being listed?
The European rankings include all employers that are in the top 90% of the Universum Ideal Ranking in at least 3 of the 6 markets.

Results are weighted by GDP
This means a high ranking position in Germany has a larger influence than a high ranking position in the Netherlands.
A default ranking is assigned if an employer is ranked outside of the top 90% of a market.
This ranking is equal to the position of the last company in the top 90% of the market.
