KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2022 has once again recognised
Sunway University as the highest-ranked private university in Malaysia.
Sunway University has progressed further in THE Impact Rankings 2022 and is now
ranked Top 301+ out of 1,406 international institutions. THE Impact Rankings
2022 recognises universities worldwide for their social and economic impact
based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). THE Impact
Ranking is a broad multidimensional assessment of a university's research,
community outreach, education, and campus operations.
Sunway University had strong showings across several individual SDGs. The
University is now ranked Top 200 in SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), where
Sunway University successfully ensures availability and sustainable management
of water and sanitation for all. As part of the Water Conservation Programme,
Sunway University has installed alternative pipes that are connected to
Sun-Water from the South Quay Lake Water Plant.
Additionally, Sunway University is highly-ranked in the Top 200 in SDG 8
(Decent Work and Economic Growth), which portrays Sunway University's
continuous effort to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace and encourages
employee diversity based on the basic employment principle of performance pay
and equal pay regardless of gender. The University also aims to create a
culture that respects and values each other's differences, promotes equality
and diversity, and encourages individuals to grow and develop to realise their
full potential.
Sunway University is also highly-placed in the Top 200 in SDG 17 (Partnership
for the Goals), showing and strengthening the connections that the University
has built with others. The School of Engineering and Technology is part of the
Advanced Nano Materials for Clean Energy & Water Technology interdisciplinary
project. This project has a networking grant of RM45,000 to create
opportunities for academics, early career researchers, and students of
participating redundant institutions.
Moreover, Sunway University also had strong showings in other SDGs. Placing in
the Top 300 in SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), the University promotes and
supports clean energy usage through research.
The University even obtained a high score in SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and
Communities), which highlights Sunway University as a state-of-the-art modern
campus that is connected to a wide range of social and community amenities by
safe walkways at treetop level (the "canopy walk") – giving a unique,
sustainable study, work and social environment for its students and staff
within and around the campus.
"The continued rise of Sunway University in only its second year of
participation in the THE Impact ranking is a testament to the choices that the
university has made for planetary health and sustainable development in all our
research and education programmes and the #CampusWithAConscience activities of
our students and staff," said Professor Sibrandes Poppema, President of Sunway
University.
Sunway City is a prime example of the new global movement of sustainable
"15-minute cities" with hyper-connectivity and all amenities accessible within
15 minutes of walking.
Realising the need for health and safety, Sunway University strives to focus on
pedestrian priority on campus with covered walkways that run between buildings
and provide students and staff convenient access to all facilities within the
campus.
Sunway University is proud of its growing reputation as a Campus With A
Conscience. #CampusWithAConscience is an underlying principle that embraces
everything students will experience during their time at Sunway College and
Sunway University. This is the fundamental spirit at the heart of Sunway Campus
Life; educating, encouraging, and engaging students in all aspects of a diverse
and inclusive community to support them in adopting a lifestyle and lifestyle
habits that truly reflect a society determined to create a better living
environment for this generation and generations to come.
