The University of the South Pacific has been ranked in the 2024 Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings.
USP vice-chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia said the ranking showed the hard work and determination of the researchers and staff members at the university working towards the achievement of global recognition.
“USP envisioned by the Pacific leaders over five decades ago has indeed become the region’s common good through which it addresses the region’s need for evolving development, education and research,” Professor Ahluwalia said in a statement.
According to the research, USP was ranked in the 601 to 800 range out of the 1963 institutions that participated in the 2024 THE Impact Rankings. This solidified the university’s reputation in the region and reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
“Achieving the relevant SDGs is vital for the progress of our university and the region, underpinned by our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan.
“It is also critical in the region’s collective efforts for global cooperation in achieving the SDGs, linking them to our 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy that strives to address our region’s medium and long-term challenges.”
The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ SDGs and are trusted worldwide by students, teachers, governments and industry experts.
