The World University Rankings under THE are the world’s largest and most diverse university rankings.

USP Vice Chancellor and President Professor Pal Ahluwalia also stressed that the ranking shows the hard work and determination of the researchers and staff at the University in working towards achieving global recognition.

According to THE World University Rankings by subject, USP’s Physical Sciences ranked 601–800, Social Sciences ranked 501–600, and Business and Economics ranked 501–600.

The 2023 THE World University Rankings include 1,799 universities across 104 countries and regions and “analyzed over 121 million citations across more than 15.5 million research publications and included survey responses from 40,000 scholars globally.”
