Universiti Malaya has improved in its ranking from the 59th position last year to 46th this year in Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings.

UM vice-chancellor, Abdul Rahim Hashim said that the ranking system is a benchmark for UM against other institutions of higher learning in order to gauge the present state and status of the university.

“It is also important for UM to continue improving in the area of graduate employability, networking and collaboration with industries and international strategic partnerships.

“UM’s rise in rankings is also a testament that the investments and initiatives taken over several years to improve the performance of the university are on track,” he said in a statement today.

This is the second year UM participated in the university rankings, with the leading university in Asia being the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, according to its website.
