BINUS University ranked between 901st and 950th in the QS World University Rankings 2027, maintaining its position as Indonesia’s highest-ranked private university in the global QS rankings. Announced during the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2026 in Bali, this achievement comes alongside another milestone in the QS World University Rankings: Asia 2027.
For QS World University Rankings: Asia 2027, BINUS University placed 173rd, making it the only private university in Indonesia to enter Asia’s top 200. These achievements reflect BINUS’s continued commitment to academic quality, educational innovation, and global competitiveness. How did BINUS University achieve this feat?
A Stronger Presence in Global Higher Education
The latest QS rankings highlight BINUS University’s continued development as an institution with growing international recognition. Its placement in the 901-950 global ranking band reflects its progress in strengthening academic standards and building a more competitive position among higher education institutions worldwide.
The announcement was made at the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2026, which brought together university leaders, academics, government representatives, and industry professionals from across the region. The occasion provided an important opportunity to recognize universities’ achievements while encouraging further collaboration to advance the quality and impact of higher education.
BINUS’s achievement in the QS Asia 2027 rankings further reinforces this progress. Securing the 173rd position among universities across Asia places BINUS among the region’s top 200 institutions and highlights its continued contribution to Indonesia’s presence in the international academic community.
Building Educational Quality Through Industry Collaboration
According to BINUS University Rector, Dr. Nelly, S.Kom., M.M., the achievement reflects the collective commitment of the university’s academic community to improve educational quality and develop relevant innovations.
She expressed her appreciation to the entire BINUS academic community for contributing to the university’s development and emphasized that the recognition would motivate further improvements.
“Moving forward, we will continue strengthening collaborations with industry and international partners, while developing a learning environment that optimally supports students and enhances their global competitiveness,” she stated.
One of BINUS’s key strategies is strengthening its industry collaborations. Currently supported by more than 2,200 industry partners across various sectors, BINUS integrates professional perspectives and industry needs into its educational ecosystem. These partnerships provide students with opportunities to gain practical experience and develop competencies aligned with the evolving demands of the workplace.
Preparing Students Through Experiential Learning
Another important initiative is the BINUS Enrichment Program, which allows students to gain valuable experiences beyond conventional classroom learning. Through various pathways, including professional internships, entrepreneurship, research, community development, and international study, students can explore their interests while developing practical and professional capabilities.
BINUS also implements its 2+1+1 learning model, providing students with opportunities to experience different academic environments throughout their studies. Students spend their first two years at their home campus, followed by one year studying at another BINUS campus in a different city, and one year in the Enrichment Program.
This approach encourages students to broaden their perspectives, experience interdisciplinary learning, and develop the adaptability needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
A Continued Commitment to Global Competitiveness
Dr. Nelly emphasized that universities must continuously adapt to changes in technology, industry, and society to keep education relevant. BINUS regularly evaluates and develops its learning approaches while expanding cross-sector collaborations to prepare students for future challenges.
The latest QS rankings achievements reflect this ongoing commitment. Beyond institutional recognition, they represent the collective efforts of BINUS’s students, faculty members, alums, and partners in building an educational environment that supports innovation, professional readiness, and meaningful contributions to society.
With its growing global recognition and commitment to educational excellence, BINUS University offers students an environment to learn, grow, and prepare for a successful future.
