KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — Seven of Malaysian universities are now ranked as being among the best 500 universities in the world, including the country’s oldest varsity Universiti Malaya that broke into the top 251 to 300 band in a global ranking of 1,904 universities.
This is UM’s highest ranking since it became part of this global ranking in 2018, as it was only twice within the 351-400 band and in the 301-350 band for the four other years. THE’s chief global officer Phil Baty highlighted the impressive rise of Malaysia’s universities in the global rankings. “Recently, Malaysian universities have been keen to build their international student and staff numbers to enhance their global footprint and build their global reputation, which is likely to result in even further improved performances in the rankings over the coming years. Malaysia is cementing its status as a major global education hub,” he added.
For the global ranking, its methodology was significantly changed for the 2024 rankings, which may have influenced changes to the scores of some universities this year compared to the previous year. The last substantial change to the methodology was in 2011. But the study abroad indicator, which measures the provision of international learning opportunities for local students, was given zero weight in the 2024 rankings. This is a temporary move, due to the impact of Covid-19 on international travel.
