T
he University of Indonesia (UI) climbed 12 places on Asia's top 100 university list to settle at 67th place, from last year’s 79th.
UI rector Muhammad Anis M Met lauded the improved rank, attributing the achievement to the worldwide recognition of the UI’s – Indonesia’s top university – quality, as reflected in the fulfillment of parameters being used in the assessment.
“The rating is not the main purpose we pursue as an educational institution. We aim to produce excellent graduates and improve our quality of education, research and service to society,” Anis said in a statement on Wednesday.
Among the parameters fulfilled included significant increases in the publication of journals, improved human resource management and organizational management, as well as internationalization programs involving the community, students and lecturers.
The rating was based on the Quacquarelli Symonds University Ranking 2016, an international rating standard on tertiary institutions, which assessed more than 350 universities in Asia. The list was released Tuesday. (dmr)
