The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) continues to make its mark on the global stage as it rises to Overall Rank 254 in the 2025 World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI).

NEUST President Rhodora Jugo said that the University has made a significant leap in the recently released WURI ranking, moving from 268th to 254th place globally.

โ€œOur performance in 2025 WURI speaks volumes about how far weโ€™ve come in making education more meaningful and responsive to the needs of our society,โ€ said President Jugo.

โ€œFrom our efforts in innovation and entrepreneurship to our strong community engagement, it is clear that the work we do at NEUST is being recognized on the world stage.โ€

โ€œTo all our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and partners, thank you and congratulations! This progress would not be possible without your passion and commitment.โ€

โ€œAs NEUST GLOBAL, let us continue to make a lasting impact in the international arena,โ€ added the NEUST President.

This year, NEUST earned recognition in three major categories, showcasing the Universityโ€™s unwavering commitment to innovation, global engagement, and inclusive leadership.

NEUST achieved the Rank 17 in Empowerment-Based Management for โ€˜The BRIDGEโ€™, a project spearheaded by the Office of the President and the Planning and Development Office, which highlights inclusive leadership and participative governance.

The university also secured Rank 29 in Student Mobility and Openness through the College of Educationโ€™s โ€˜Project iLEARN: Advancing Internationalization and Global Competenceโ€™, which promotes global citizenship and cross-cultural learning among students and faculty.

In addition, NEUST placed Rank 30 in Visionary Leadership with the initiative โ€˜NEUST Reimagined: A Program Towards Innovative Horizon Leadershipโ€™, led by the Planning and Development Office, reflecting the universityโ€™s commitment to transformative and forward-looking leadership.

These global recognitions solidify NEUSTโ€™s position as one of the most dynamic and progressive institutions of higher learning in the Philippines, aligned with international standards and responsive to the challenges of the 21st century.
