ALOR SETAR, April 7 — Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) continued to excel when its three main subjects soared in the QS World University Rankings (QSWUR) by Subjects 2022 which was announced yesterday.
The three subjects are Accounting and Finance, which rose from position 201-250 to 151-200; Economics and Econometrics from 301-350 to 201-250 and Computer Science and Information Systems from 601-650 to 551-600.
UUM vice-chancellor Prof Dr Haim Hilman Abdullah, in a statement last night, said the field of Social Sciences and Management also took a massive leap from 340 to 251.
“The university is grateful because UUM continues to excel by showing an improvement in its position in QSWUR from year to year. Of these four subjects, it showed a 75 per cent improvement and none of the subjects declined.
“This is the best achievement of the university and the agenda with all campus staff to push the university to a level of pride. What we have achieved is not individual success but a culmination (of students and staff),” he said.
He is confident and believes that the university denizens will continue to work hard to achieve greater success in the future.
QSWUR, in its statement, said that UUM’s best performance was driven by the subject of Accounting and Finance for the indicators of academic reputation, employer reputation and citation (per academic staff) while for Business and Management, it was the H-Index.
A total of 51 subjects were listed and grouped in five main areas, namely Art and Humanities; Life Science and Medicine; Natural Science; Social Science and Management; and Engineering and Technology in the latest edition of QSWUR by Subject 2022.
