Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines are ranked among the globally-ranked universities in the recently released 2023 Times Higher Education World University Rankings list.

This year's performance is a dramatic increase from the two Philippine universities—UP and De La Salle University—that were ranked in 2019.

"The dramatic increase in the number of internationalized Philippines HEIs (higher education institutions) show that our universities continuously benchmark themselves with the best universities in the world and are improving their programs, faculty, and facilities to produce graduates that are globally competitive and industry-matched. In other words, an increasing number of Philippine HEIs are globally competitive and world-class," Commission on Higher Education Chairman Prospero De Vera III said.

ADMU entered the top 301-400, which is the highest ranking ever received by any Philippine university in THE WUR rankings.

The 10 globally ranked HEIs are:

Ateneo de Manila University (301-400)
