This year’s QS Latin America University Rankings features 428 institutions – up from last year’s 418, making it our biggest Latin American rankings to date.  
 
The major locations represented in the rankings include Brazil (98 universities), Mexico (64 universities) and Colombia (62 universities), which account for more than a half of all ranked universities between them. 

Chile’s Pontificia Universidad Católica and Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil hold the top two spots in the rankings for the fifth year running, whilst Tecnológico de Monterrey and Universidad de Chile maintain last year’s third and fourth places respectively.
