Best University in Malaysia
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia ranks 87th in Times Higher Education Asia
rankings in 2013
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) made it in the top 100 of the inaugural
Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings.
It is ranked 87th tying up with the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.
The ranking exercise benchmarks the public university with other research
intensive institutions in the region. Six hundred sixty-five universities took
part in this exercise.
In 2012 , UKM ranked 98th in the Top 100 Universities under 50 category. Times
Higher Education rankings used 13 separate performance indicators to examine
each universitys strength against all its core missions namely teaching,
research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.
UNIVERSITI Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), established 42 years ago, was the only
Malaysian tertiary institution in the table, which lists the world's best 100
universities established in the last 50 years.
UKM staff members' hard work and dedication now stands among "young universities
that are making huge strides in educational development".
UKM stressed on quality research and publications, innovative teaching and
learning, community engagement, internationalization and international
benchmarking, good governance and effective delivery.
Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 was a collaboration between British magazine
Times Higher Education (THE) and research-metrics company Thomson Reuters and
released in addition to the yearly World University Rankings.
It was based on the same comprehensive range of 13 separate performance
indicators -- including research, teaching, knowledge transfer and international
activity -- used to compile the World University Rankings.
UKM's presence in the league table will "encourage other Malaysian institutions
to recognize the importance of benchmarking themselves against global
counterparts".
UKM, on the other hand, viewed such exercises as a guide to help it improve in
specific areas such as publications and citations.

placement of the national institute in UKM signifies the
research strength of the university in the area of genomics
and molecular biology,
