[Unpad Media Channel] Universitas Padjadjaran has strengthened its position in the global top 300 as a leading institution in the field of Law. In the latest release of the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings (WUR) by Subject for 2025, Unpad’s Faculty of Law ranked 301+ worldwide. In April 2024, Unpad’s Law Faculty was ranked 251-300 in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024.
THE WUR and QS WUR are prominent ranking organizations that measure the performance of educational institutions worldwide. The latest release from THE WUR ranks institutions in 11 educational subjects, including arts and humanities, business and economics, computer science, education studies, engineering, law, life sciences, medical and health, physical sciences, psychology, and social sciences.
“We are certainly grateful because more and more prestigious ranking institutions are recognizing the improvements in Unpad’s quality. For example, the Faculty of Law, which was previously recognized by QS WUR By Subject, is now also recognized by THE WUR By Subject. Hopefully, this will motivate Unpad to continue improving in quality and provide benefits to society,” said the Rector of Unad, Prof. Arief S. Kartasasmita.
Furthermore, the the Dean of the Faculty of Law at Unpad, Dr. Sigid Suseno, S.H., M.Hum., expressed his gratitude and thanks to the faculty’s lecturers, staff, students, and alumni who have worked hard to enhance the governance of education at the Faculty of Law. Dr. Sigid also thanked the university for supporting various innovative programs that have been implemented.
“This ranking achievement is something we should be grateful for, but it is not the end goal. The reputation we’ve earned means nothing if it doesn’t bring benefits to the institution, the academic community, and society,” said Dr. Sigid.
The Head of the Strategic Development, Reputation Monitoring, and Performance Unit (SPSRU), Prof. Mohamad Fahmi, emphasized that this result indicates a positive trend in several areas, including the inclusion of Computer Science in the rankings (at 801–1000) and a significant rise in Law, now ranked 301+.
“This result shows that Unpad is increasingly being considered in the global academic landscape. The inclusion of Computer Science in the rankings and the jump in the Law ranking are proof that the strategies for strengthening research, increasing publications, and fostering international collaboration are beginning to bear fruit,” said Prof. Fahmi.
In addition to Law, THE WUR by Subject 2025 also included seven other Unpad study programs in their rankings. Business and Economics ranked 801+, while three programs—Medical and Health, Computer Science, and Social Sciences—ranked 801-1000. Life Sciences and Physical Sciences ranked 1001+, and Engineering ranked 1001-1250. (SA)*
