Five Philippine HEIs ranked in 2024 QS World University Rankings

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) commends the five (5) Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) that are included in the 2024 QS World University Rankings.

Philippine HEIs continue to improve their performance in the QS World University Rankings. Still leading the Philippine list, the University of the Philippines moves up to the 404th rank, closely followed by the Ateneo de Manila University at the 563rd place. The De La Salle University and University of Santo Tomas also maintain their presence in the rankings at the 681-690 and 801-850 groups, respectively.

After years of having only four HEIs, the Philippine list warmly welcomes the University of San Carlos, the fifth Philippine university to achieve ranking in the illustrious QS World University Rankings, placing at the 1201-1400 group.

The QS World University Rankings measure the performance and reputation of universities worldwide based on several key indicators, including academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, international diversity, research output, and citations per faculty. These rankings aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of universities’ overall quality and their ability to attract top faculty, students, and employers globally.

Evident in the results of this year’s QS, Times Higher Education (THE), and World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI), the number of Philippine universities being ranked and rated in international metrics continues to rise following CHED Chairman J. Prospero de Vera III’s initiative to internationalize Philippine HEIs and elevate their global reputation through scholarships in top foreign universities, university-to-university twinning programs and research, and study visits by top university officials.

Philippine Universities on the Rise in Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2023

Four (4) Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) have made gains in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2023. This marks a significant achievement for the Philippine higher education, demonstrating the growing competitiveness of its universities on the global stage.

Ateneo de Manila University led the Philippine delegation, ranking 84th overall, while the University of the Philippines (UP) placed 201-250, De La Salle University (DLSU) placed 501-600, and Mapua University placed 601+. These rankings are a testament to the hard work and dedication of Philippine faculty, staff, and students.

“The increase in the number of Philippine universities included in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings is a remarkable achievement,” said CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera. 

“We are committed to supporting our universities and colleges so that they can continue to improve their rankings,” he added.

The Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings are based on 13 performance indicators, including teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.

Ateneo de Manila University, which leaped from being having a reporter status last year, was recognized for its strong performance in citation impact and teaching performance. UP and DLSU, which dropped from their last year’s rankings, were nonetheless noted for their citations and industry income in the case of UP, and research and industry income for DLSU. 

Mapua University, which made its debut in the rankings this year, was noted for its industry income and international outlook. 

Also joining the list were Cebu Technological University, Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, University of Santo Tomas, University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, Tarlac Agricultural University, and Visayas State University which participated in the rankings and garnered Reporter status. 

This made the country’s tally in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2023 equal to 10 Philippine HEIs compared to last year’s three (3), a statistic that clearly highlighted the passion and commitment of Philippine HEIs to offer quality higher education that is at par with their international counterparts.

The Commission through its International Affair Service conducts orientations, masterclasses, and writeshops not only to encourage the participation of Philippine HEIs in international ranking exercises but also to enhance their research capabilities, increase their international collaborations, and improve the quality of education that they provide. 

“We are committed to ensuring that our universities have the resources and support that they need to compete on the global stage. We are confident that with the right investments and strategies, Philippine universities will continue to rise in the rankings and make an even greater impact on the world,” De Vera said.

Press Release

44 Philippine HEIs Top the WURI Rankings 2023

Manila, Philippines (18 May 2023) – 44 Philippine higher education institutions (PHEIs) placed in the World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) Global Top 100 Universities 2023. This places the Philippines in the top spot for the most number of HEIs per country, second only to the USA with 68 institutions.

The Philippines achieved a 266% increase in the PHEIs entering the WURI 2023 with the addition of 32 new universities in this year’s list. Far Eastern University – Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) leads the PHEIs at Rank 56 jumping 18 places from its 2022 standing. The FEU-NRMF is joined by six (6) other PHEIs in the Top 100, while the remaining 38 institutions placed in the Rank 101-200.

The WURI is a not-for-profit international ranking program established by the Organizing Committee of the Hanseatic League of Universities (HLU). It evaluates universities’ real contributions to the society, highlighting creative and innovative approaches of universities’ research and educational programs based on the six (6) evaluation categories which are Industrial Application, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Ethical Value, Student Mobility and Openness, Crisis Management, and Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In five of these categories, the Philippines performed better than last year, increasing its total number of HEIs joining the categories’ Top 50. The country performed best in the Fourth Industrial Revolution category after securing 18 places this year. Two years after the introduction of this category, Samar State University defended its Rank 1 title, besting all other HEIs including 17 others from the Philippines.

Debuting in the WURI, Central Luzon State University led the Philippine universities in the Industrial Application category’s Top 50 at Rank 27, and was accompanied by four (4) other PHEIs. FEU Tech still maintained its lead in the Entrepreneurial Spirit category compared to other PHEIs as it secured Rank 34. It is joined by five (5) other PHEIs in the Top 50.

12 PHEIs now joined the Ethical Value category with St. Paul University Philippines leading this group at Rank 24. The Philippine statistics in the Student Mobility and Openness category also doubled with Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) at Rank 22, securing the Philippines’ top spot for the second straight year. TAU is followed by seven (7) other PHEIs in this category.

On the other hand, the Crisis Management category has seen one less PHEI in its Top 50 than the year before. FEU-NRMF led the other five (5) PHEIs in this category at Rank 8.

The WURI is one of the three international ranking bodies, along with the QS and Times Higher Education (THE), acknowledged by CHED pursuant to the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Republic Act No. 11448 or the “Transnational Higher Education Act.”

The number of Philippine universities being recognized in these renowned international league tables continues to rise following CHED Chairperson Dr. J. Prospero de Vera III’s initiative to internationalize Philippine HEIs and elevate their global reputation by providing massive and targeted government support through student and faculty scholarships in top foreign universities, university-to-university twinning programs and research, and study visits by the PHEIs top executives.

The Philippines’ performance in WURI 2023 continues to prove that it is indeed a country offering exceptional higher education in the ASEAN region and the world. This has been made possible by CHED’s enabling platform through its International Affairs Service (IAS) Office that puts premier to internationalization which propels PHEIs to even greater heights.

Regardless of this year’s results, CHED reminds all PHEIs that the outcome we hope for in our universities is not limited by data nor bounded by the standards established by its peers. Our higher education institutions must never fail to look outside its walls, reach out to its community, and champion sustainability.
