This achievement further underscores IPB University’s consistency as the only Indonesian university capable of maintaining a position in the global Top 50 for Agriculture & Forestry, continuing the positive trend sustained over the past several years.
Moreover, IPB University has risen from 10th to 8th place in Asia for the same field, while remaining the top-ranked institution in Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
In the previous year, IPB University had ranked 49th globally in the same field. This demonstrates the continuity of its outstanding performance and increasingly strong global competitiveness.

Therefore, IPB will continue to innovate, expand its networks, and strengthen the quality of education and research, so that it is not only competitive at the global level but also relevant and impactful for Indonesia and the world,” he added.
IPB University continues to demonstrate excellence in scientific publications, international collaboration, and the relevance of its research to global issues such as food security, climate change, and animal health.
The achievement in the field of Veterinary Science, which ranks among the Top 100 in the world, is also a key indicator that the development of veterinary science at IPB University is increasingly recognized globally, in line with the One Health approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental health.
Compared to the previous year, IPB University’s strengthened position is evident not only in its ranking but also in the growing global recognition of the quality of its graduates, the impact of its research, and the university’s innovative contributions to addressing the challenges of sustainable development.
