Malaysia is fortunate to possess a rich diversity of wetland ecosystems covering more than 5.19 million hectares. These ecosystems hold significant conservation value, providing economic benefits through natural resources and tourism, as well as delivering vital ecosystem services such as flood mitigation, water catchment, coastal protection, and carbon storage.

This progress reflects the effectiveness of the implementation of the ¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹 Sustainability Strategic Plan 2030, which emphasises sustainability-based operational management encompassing energy and water efficiency, the development of campus-wide green initiatives, systematic carbon management, as well as strengthening education, research, and innovation related to sustainable development. With a clear direction and ongoing leadership commitment, ¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹 will continue to drive excellence as a global reference campus in green transformation, inspiring communities within and beyond the nation to collectively build a more sustainable future.

The Law subject recorded the best position improvement, ranking 101-125 in the world and number 1 in Malaysia.

Additionally, among the subjects that ranked number 1 in Malaysia are Arts & Humanities, with all the evaluated disciplines also achieving first place, including Archaeology, Architecture and History, Philosophy, and Theology.

¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹 continues to show remarkable progress by placing the Medicine & Health subject at number 2 in Malaysia, with two disciplines under it—Medicine & Dentistry ranked number 2 and Other Health subjects ranked number 3 in Malaysia.

Psychology is also a discipline that ¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹 is proud of, ranking third. Meanwhile, the Engineering subject, along with its 5 disciplines, also excelled, ranking third in Malaysia for 2025. Other disciplines that ranked third in Malaysia include Physics & Astronomy and Geography.

This recognition reflects the quality of academic expertise, the high commitment of university staff, and the excellence of the university as a result of the efforts of ¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹’s community in carrying out their trust and responsibilities with distinction.
