“WE are proud to announce that Universidad de Manila has successfully made it to the 2025 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, with a commendable overall score of 57.7, placing us in the 1001–1500 bracket out of 2318 institutions globally.”

Ito ang inihayag ni UdM President Dr. Felma Carlos-Tria, na nagsabing: “This milestone highlights our continuous efforts and growing commitment in aligning our programs, research, and institutional practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

Ang  The Impact Rankings ay nakamit ng mga pamantasan sa buong mundo base sa kanilang ambag sa  sustainability, equity, and global development — at ang pagkilalang ito ay  nagpapatunay ng kanilang kahalagahan at potensiyal sa pandaigdigang entablado ng akademya.

Ayon kay Tria, ang natamo ng  UdM sa world university rankings ay kolektibong tagumpay ng academic community, administrators, faculty, staff at mga estudyante ng unibersidad kung saan ang kanilang dedikasyon para sa  transpormatibong  edukasyon at panlipunang  impact ang dahilan ng pagkilalang ito.

“Let us continue to uphold the values of inclusive, quality and socially responsive education as we move forward to reach even greater heights in the years ahead,” panawagan pa ni Tria sa UdM community.

“Incredibly grateful that Universidad de Manila made it to the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, positioned in the 1001-1500 range globally. We had no expectations as we applied for the first time this year, so I’m actually still in disbelief,” sabi pa niya.

Nakuha ng UDM ang  global ranking, partikular sa katangi-tanging ambag nito sa  Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 1 (No Poverty) in the range 201-300 range, 5 ( Gender Equality) in the 401-600 range, 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) in the 601-800 range, at 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) in the 801-1000 range. Sa mga rankings na ito ay kinumpirma ng  UDM ang strongest areas of impact, base sa  performance across metrics.

Nabatid na may  2,526 unibersidad mula sa 130 bansa o territories ang lumahok sa taong ito sa THE Impact Rankings na nag-iisang global rankings na kumikilatis ng pag-unlad ng mga unibersidad base sa UN Sustainable Development Goals, gamit ang mga  indicator sa research, stewardship, outreach, and teaching.

“So to the UDM Community (faculty, student support staff, admin staff, and heads), maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyo. Each of you had a significant role to play in order for us to achieve this milestone. Special thanks to URELIA for guiding us and to our truly amazing focal persons and our very supportive ICTO for documenting and telling the world about our collective efforts in UDM.
Para sa aming mga minamahal na mag-aaral, alay namin sa inyo ang lahat ng ito. Kayo ang una at huli sa mga adhikaing patuloy nating tinatahak,” pagtatapos ni Tria.
