28 JunÂ鶹´«Ã½Ó³» University ranks 300, maintaining it¡¯s top 1% classification
KUALA LUMPUR: Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» University has maintained its status as one of Asia¡¯s best private universities in the QS World University Rankings 2024.
Ranked 300 in the competitive annual rankings, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» is classified in the world¡¯s top 1% for the second year running.
This comes after QS introduced three new metrics - sustainability, employment outcomes and international research network - and adjusted the weightage of existing ranking indicators.
Acknowledging the result, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Siti Hamisah Tapsir said that the University had done fairly well in line with the seismic shifts in ranking evaluation.
¡°Adjusting to a new ranking methodology is not straightforward as it involves an abundance of data sets and shifting weightages,¡± she said. ¡°We will adjust accordingly and come back stronger.
¡°We are encouraged to be in the world¡¯s top 1% for two years in a row and we will work harder to improve graduate outcomes, student experiences and thought leadership.¡±
The latest ranking continues Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»¡¯s strong performance in global rankings. It marks a 181-spot improvement since Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» was first ranked in the 2019 edition.
It comes on the back of a strong performance in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023 when Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» recorded an overall improvement of 50%, ranked 21st and 34th globally for music and hospitality, respectively.
