[unpad.ac.id, 19\/06\/2019] The QS ranking agency has released the \u201cQS World University Rankings (WUR) 2020\u201d on Wednesday (19\/6). Universitas Padjadjaran is currently ranked 751 \u2013 800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The QS WUR 2020 rankings methodology still considers a\nnumber of indicators, including: academic reputation (40%), employer reputation\n(10%), faculty\/student ratio (20%), citations per faculty (20%), international\nfaculty (5%), and international students (5%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unpad received the highest points on the faculty\/student\nratio indicator. For this indicator, Unpad was ranked 366 at the global level. The\npoints that must be strengthened from the 6 indicators mentioned above include\ninternationalization which includes academic and employer peer reviews which\nare weighted more heavily. Additionally, the international faculty index and\ninternational student index also need improvement (currently still ranked\n601+).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Head of Unpad International Office, Dr. Ronny, M.Kes.,\nAIFO, PhD., explained that overall, Unpad’s cumulative achievements are not as\ngood as in 2018. As a result, this year, Unpad’s ranking has dropped compared\nto last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The internationalization factor is affected by the change in\nUnpad data on QS. The most affected criteria are the faculty ratio as well as\nthe number of foreign students, as fewer foreign students chose to continue\ntheir studies at Unpad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronny explained that Unpad continued to strengthen in terms\nof data governance policies under the coordination of the Vice Rector for Planning,\nFinance, and Information Systems. The efforts encourage communication networks\nwith international peers, namely partner universities, business communities and\nother stakeholders. Additionally, action has been taken for the revival of cooperation\n(MoU) with foreign institutions that were previously inactive or had no\nactivities, as well as the opening of the double degree program and\ninternational classes for undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding internationalization, the readiness of each study\nprogram in welcoming foreign students will be very important, because each\nstudy program will determine how many foreign students can be accommodated. On\nthe other hand, the presence of adequate infrastructure will also determine\nUnpad’s ability to accept foreign students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, continued Ronny, Unpad\u2019s internationalization\npower can be seen in the ongoing Indonesian language learning program at BIPA. Cooperation\nbetween Unpad and a number of institutions in Southeast Asia and other Asian\ncountries has also been going well. However, more massive efforts must continue\nto be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have started to run faster. However, the other\nuniversities are running even faster, so we need to be better and be more active\nin preparing for university performance. One thing that must not be forgotten, is\nthat internationalization efforts must also be done without forgetting the\nquality of education and the best service for domestic students, “said\nRonny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another opinion conveyed by Prof. Badri Munir Sukoco, SE.,\nMBA., Ph.D, member of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education\nWorld Class University task force team, highlighted the importance of the\nindividual role of academics. In addition to the aspect of\ninternationalization, the role of individual reputation from University\nacademics to be able to improve academic reputation at the international level\nis very important in boosting the University\u2019s indicators of academic\nreputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAwareness is needed from the academic individuals at the\nUniversity about the importance of having a position that is recognized in the\ninternational community in their respective fields of expertise,\u201d explained\nBadri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An example given by Badri to illustrate this was if a\nlecturer were to have a position as the head of a scientific association at the\ninternational level, then this would contribute to the recognition of the\noverall academic reputation of the institution. In addition, Badri also\nexplained the importance of several leading international standard programs\nsuch as international conferences and collaborative research involving the\ninternational academic community to improve academic reputation, one of the QS\nWUR criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acting Unpad Rector Prof. Dr. Rina Indiastuti, M. SIE., appreciates\nall members of the community who have contributed to Unpad’s achievements in\nthe QS WUR 2020 ranking. Although Unpad’s ranking has been adjusted, it is\nstill ranked among the top six universities in Indonesia. Rina also said that Unpad\u2019s\nincreasing number of international publications that continues to increase serves\nas a strong capital to increase the benefit and contribution of building the\nnation as well as Unpad’s internationalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe drop in Unpad\u2019s ranking sends us a message reminding that\nwe have to work harder in building Unpad’s reputation and academic performance,\nas done by other universities which are Unpad\u2019s peers,\u201d said Rina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rina also stated that the high score achieved by Unpad in\nthe faculty\/student ratio indicator should bear fruit to determination to\nensure the excellence of graduates so they can be absorbed in to the working\nworld. This is further believed to bring confidence and increase the number of\nUnpad partners at the domestic and international level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, along with the vice rectors and deans, are planning to\nstrengthen the quality the study programs so they reach international\nstandards, collaborating with international partners. This can increase the\nacademic reputation of lecturers and students, which will directly attract\nacademics and international students to come to Unpad,\u201d concluded Rina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
