In recent years, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) has seen tangible uplifts in global rankings across a number of recognized ranking systems. A survey of World University Rankings (WUR), produced by Times Higher Education (THE), indicates that SUMS has moved up from a global ranking of 1001+ in 2021 to 801-1000 in 2023. Similar improvements are also observed in other ranking systems including QS, CWTS Leiden, Webometrics and CWUR.
These ranking bodies measure the performance of higher education institutions against a wide array of indicators, and may necessitate the involvement of numerous stakeholders and protocols within an academic establishment. Citing the all-embracing nature of such assessments, Dr. Seyed Hassan Seradj, SUMS Vice-Chancellor for Global Strategies and International Affairs, emphasized the importance of concerted university-wide efforts in maintaining an upward trend in global rankings.
Dr. Seradj also noted that the University has set forth some major objectives for further improvement of its ranking status, particularly in the area of institutional presence and visibility on the Web. “Substantial efforts are underway to achieve these ranking objectives and we expect to see meaningful results over the coming years”, he added.
