KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 (Bernama) — University of Malaya’s (UM) ranking improved to 230th position in this year’s The Times Higher Education (THE)- Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking from 246th place previously.
Its Acting Vice-Chancellor Datuk Dr Muhamad Rasat Muhamad said the position showed that UM’s strategic plan which was implemented two years ago under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Datuk Rafiah Salim and the excellent support of the staff was bearing fruit.
Muhamad Rasat in a statement here today said the university fully supported the Ministry of Higher Education in realising the national aspiration of having one or more of Malaysia’s universities in the top 200 of the THE ranking by 2010.

The 2007 Times Higher Education Supplement Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings finaly released by The Times. So what happen to our Universities ranking, after a drastic drops in last year rankings ?The 2007 in general has recorded a drop in all Malaysia universities ranking which caused by change of methodology for the categories of peer review and citation for faculty. On top of Malaysia University is Universiti Malaysia which this year ranked at #246 compared to #192 in 2006.
The summary for Malaysian University as follows :
- UM (#246)/ (#192)
- USM (#307)/ (#277)
- UKM (#309)/ (#185)
- UPM (#364)/(#292)
- UTM (#415)/ (NA)
None of the private universities in the rankings, what happen actually. Does this means that Public Universites is very much better than them. Maybe government of Malaysia can thing something so that we can have our own University Ranking. I believe Lembaga Akreditasi Negara has all the required manpower, tools to do this rankings job.
