Mapúa University debuted in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings: Sustainability, a testament to its mission of providing state-of-the-art solutions to problems of industries and communities.
A university for people and planet, Mapúa placed 1201+ overall and 390th out of 478 universities in Asia for the 2024 rankings, which assesses institutions’ actions in tackling the world’s greatest environmental, social, and governance issues.
“We aim to educate and empower. The skills and knowledge you will gain here will not just serve you but society at large. We want you to be the torchbearers of sustainable, inclusive, and beneficial growth for all,” said Dr. Dodjie S. Maestrecampo, university president, in a message to Mapúa students.
Along with two other Philippine schools, Mapúa qualified for the first time and became among the five universities carrying the country’s banner in the international rankings, which was launched in 2023.
Earlier this year, Mapúa joined the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings for the fifth straight year, entered the QS Asia University Rankings for the sixth consecutive time, and maintained its 4-Star overall rating for excellence in the QS Stars Rating System.
