UM now 13th in QS Asia university ranking

In the 2020 edition of the QS World University Rankings: Asia that has the continent’s 550 best institutions listed, UM is now placed 13th up from 19th previously.

All in all, 21 of Malaysia’s 29 top universities have risen in QS World University Rankings: Asia, demonstrating that Malaysian universities are becoming increasingly competitive, relative to regional peers. Meanwhile, in the Employer Reputation indicator, 18 of Malaysia’s 29 ranked universities have improved their rank. The ER indicator, which utilises the insights of over 44,000 employers regarding the quality of a university’s graduates, reflects the employability and employment prospects for a particular university's applicants and graduates.

Director of Research at QS, Ben Sowter, said the research metrics – which measure research impact and research productivity – indicate that Malaysia’s research ecosystem is not yet as developed or efficient as those of its regional competitors: China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan.
