SEGi University has once again solidified its position as a leader in global education by renewing its prestigious QS 5-Star Plus status, a rare accolade awarded to only 20 universities worldwide. This esteemed recognition, valid until 2026, places SEGi among an elite group of institutions that excel across a wide range of performance metrics, from teaching and employability to inclusiveness and online learning.
The QS 5-Star Plus rating, administered by the QS Intelligence Unit, highlights universities that demonstrate excellence across a broader set of indicators than traditional world rankings. These criteria, established against international benchmarks, ensure that the universities are evaluated for their comprehensive contributions to both academia and society.
Setting the Benchmark for Excellence
Earning QS 5-Star ratings in eight categories, including teaching, employability, and internationalisation, SEGi’s performance stands as a beacon of educational quality. The university’s Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme, which received specialist recognition, further underscores SEGi’s strength in both academic development and real-world readiness.
With this renewed recognition, SEGi joins an exclusive circle of just 20 universities globally, and one of only two in Malaysia, to have received the QS 5-Star Plus rating. This accolade speaks volumes about the university’s commitment to providing world-class education that not only fosters academic achievement but also prepares students for the global job market.
Leading with Innovation and Inclusiveness
SEGi’s success is rooted in its commitment to innovative teaching and inclusivity. Through its Industry in Classroom initiative, students engage directly with professionals, gaining real-world experience alongside academic knowledge. This focus on employability has been a key driver in SEGi’s ability to consistently produce graduates who are sought after by top employers globally.
Inclusiveness is another pillar of SEGi’s philosophy, with the university priding itself on creating an equitable learning environment for students from diverse backgrounds. This has earned SEGi a QS 5-Star rating for inclusiveness, further highlighting its commitment to making quality education accessible to all.
A Legacy of Excellence and a Vision for the Future
SEGi’s ability to maintain its QS 5-Star Plus status until 2026 cements its role as a trailblazer in higher education. For over four decades, the university has been dedicated to nurturing talent and fostering innovation, a mission that continues to evolve as it embraces cutting-edge teaching technologies and expands its global reach.
Future students can expect a transformative educational experience, grounded in academic excellence and practical application, that prepares them to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. SEGi’s unwavering dedication to its brand promise, The Best in You, Made Possible, ensures that it will continue to be a top choice for students aspiring to make a global impact.
This renewed status not only marks SEGi’s excellence but also serves as a powerful statement of its leadership in shaping the future of education.
