6 local varsities among top 50 in world subject rankings

NSTeducation: Six Malaysian universities made it to the world’s Top 50 in the 2020 edition of the QuacquarelliSymonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject.

Universiti Malaya continued to maintain its position by having its Library and Information Science ranked at 38th, Electrical & Electronic Engineering at 46th and Development Studies at 49th.

Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies offered at the International Islamic University of Malaysia rose to 37th place from the 51-100 band last year. QS uses four key metrics to compile the rankings — Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations per Paper and the H-Index . “Our employer partners have strongly signalled their approval of the direction Taylor’s is taking and the outcome of this transformation, reflected in the new rankings, is the result of a massive team effort and close engagement with employers,” he said.

For UiTM, the latest ranking was evidence that the industry and academic peers were recognising its students’ competency and capability. UTP vice-chancellor Professor Dr Mohamed Ibrahim Abdul Mutalib said being listed in the top 50 rankings for Mineral and Mining Engineering reflected the view of the industry towards its graduates.
