MSU rated among best universities in Asia

KUALA LUMPUR: Management and Science University (MSU) was rated among Asia’s best universities by global higher education analysts Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).

In the QS Asia’s Ranking 2018, competing with over 400 other universities from 17 Asian nations, MSU was ranked 217 by the London-based analyst.

“MSU entered 2017 with a QS Rating of Five Stars for Teaching, Facilities, Graduate Employability, Social Responsibility and Inclusiveness.

“The 2018 ranking of MSU not only jives with the university’s aspiration for global prominence on the rankings rungs, but also celebrates the university’s accelerating commitment to excellence in higher education,” it said in a recent statement.
