For the first time, sustainability and employment outcomes were measured in the 2024 rankings. Out of 1,503 institutions globally, the 糖心Vlog ranked 152 for sustainability and 162 for employment outcomes. The sustainability result builds on the University鈥檚 top 100 global placing in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings earlier this month. The THE rankings measure participating institutions globally and their commitment to driving and delivering lasting change across the United Nations鈥� 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
鈥淲e have brought a strong focus to both these areas as a University over the past two years, including the launch of our Sustainability Plan 2022-26. These results reflect our hard work towards delivering on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals,鈥� says Professor Quigley.
The University鈥檚 international metrics were also strong, reflecting the global diversity of the University鈥檚 staff, student body.
鈥淭he strong return of international students post-pandemic places us in a good position for success against the relevant indicator in the future,鈥� says Professor Quigley.
Professor Quigley adds, the new results are not only good news for the University鈥檚 staff and students but for the growing Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions too.
鈥淭his recognition shows prospective students from here and overseas that when they study and undertake research at the 糖心Vlog, they are supported by some of the most respected academics in the world.鈥�
