Universiti Malaya (UM) retains its place among the global top-100 universities for a fifth straight year in the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings (QS-WUR) 2023, further establishing its place among this group of elite institutions. At 70^th rank, UM is placed within the top 5% of the 1,422 institutions ranked by QS and remains the best university in the country, and third in Southeast Asia.

Universiti Malaya’s top-100 status is due, in large part, to its recognition amongst academics and employers. UM’s ranks for QS’s reputational indicators, i.e., Academic Reputation (70th, up 2 places) and Employer Reputation (35th, up 11 places) show that Universiti Malaya enjoys an excellent reputation among the world’s academics and employers.

However, on aggregate, Universiti Malaya’s rank has declined to 70^th from 65^th last year. This has been due primarily to reduction in the score for Faculty Student ratio (67.8, down from 76.5) and Citations per Faculty ratio score (39.4, down from 49.6). The score for percentage of International Staff remained unchanged at 43.6; in terms of rank, it has declined to 388 (down 76 places from last year). However, the International Student score (53.0, up 10.4 from last year) indicates that Universiti Malaya is increasingly being viewed favourably by foreign students as a destination of choice and augurs well for the future.

University of Malaya, the first University of the country, is situated on a 750-acre (309-hectare) campus in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. The University of Malaya grew out of a tradition of service to the society.
