UCSI’s Institute of Music (Imus) made history when it was ranked as a top 100 university in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018. Around 1,200 universities and institutes were evaluated in the discipline-based ranking and UCSI made the top 100 solely for its excellence in music, unlike other universities that also offer programmes in dance, drama, acting and theatre. The ranking also distinguishes UCSI as one of Asia’s top five institutions for music.
