UP has been ranking in the THE World University Rankings (WUR) since 2017, reaching the Top 156th Asian university in 2018.
UP’s current ranking in THE rankings released in May, places the state university in the upper 23 percent of 417 universities from 27 countries for 2019.
THE WUR evaluates educational institutions evaluated based on 13 performance indicators grouped into the following areas:

UP remains the Philippines’ top-ranking university as one of only five universities from Southeast Asia in the top 100, with two from Singapore and the other two from Malaysia.
