GEORGE TOWN, July 29 (Bernama) -- Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) continues to excel in the field of communication and media, with its Communication programme listed among the top in EduRank 2025.
According to a statement from USM’s Media and Public Relations Centre, this achievement proves that the university is not only a leader in science and technology but also in the social sciences and humanities.
“This recognition reinforces the philosophy that social sciences and humanities play a crucial role in shaping the future. These fields are not just complements to the sciences but also drivers of societal thought, shaping discourse, perceptions, and actions on both national and global levels,” read the statement.
EduRank is an independent ranking system that evaluates 14,131 universities from 183 countries. The ranking considers three main components: 45 per cent research performance, 45 per cent non-academic visibility, and 10 per cent alumni achievements.
Meanwhile, USM’s vice chancellor Prof Datuk Seri Dr Abdul Rahman Mohamed, expressed pride in this recognition, attributing the success to the collective efforts of lecturers, administrators, students, alumni, and industry partners.
Abdul Rahman said the achievement demonstrates that USM produces not only top scientists and researchers but also influential leaders in the field of communication and media.
In addition, School of Communication (PPK) dean Associate Prof Dr Bahiyah Omar, described the success as a result of the integrated commitment, dedication, and cooperation of all parties involved.
“This success will serve as a catalyst for strengthening our academic programmes and expanding research and collaboration networks on a global scale.
“This accomplishment shows that USM and PPK are not just institutions for knowledge delivery but also agents of meaningful change, addressing global challenges through communication based on integrity and sustainability,” she said in the statement.
