The University of Mindanao (UM) has achieved another significant milestone in global recognition, debuting in the expanded AppliedHE Private University Ranking All Asia. Following its success in the AppliedHE ASEAN ranking last year, the University has dramatically broadened its reach by securing the 188th rank in Asia and an impressive 17th rank in the Philippines.

This achievement is a clear validation of UM's strategic commitment to holistic quality and global competitiveness. The AppliedHE ranking assesses institutions across six crucial pillars: Teaching and Learning, Employability, Research, Community Engagement, Internationalization, and Institutional Reputation. UM’s strong performance across these diverse metrics confirms its leadership not only in delivering quality education but also in creating measurable, positive impact within the community.

This recognition affirms UM's continuous pursuit of excellence across all facets of university operation—from empowering its graduates for the workforce to deepening its research and community involvement. As the ranking agency expands its scope to cover all of Asia, UM remains dedicated to enhancing its services and solidifying its position as a globally engaged university and a source of pride for the Mindanao region.
