University of the Philippines (UP) and De La Salle University (DLSU) have been officially ranked in the newest Times Higher Education World University Rankings By Subject (THE WUR).
The country’s premier state university and Lasallian educational institution were the only two universities in the Philippines which made it to the 11 Subject Rankings of THE WUR 2023 from among the record 1,799 universities from 104 countries and regions on the rankings which have gained a worldwide following from students, teachers, governments, and industry experts.
The London-based group studying trends in global higher education notes that THE WUR Subject Rankings 2023 published on October 25, 2022, uses the same performance indicators (Teaching, Research, Citations, Industry Income, and International Outlook) as THE World University Rankings 2023 which included Ateneo de Manila University and Mapua University in their debut ranking, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.
