Middle East University (MEU) has officially joined the select group of 10 Lebanese universities listed in the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings 2025. This is a significant milestone, reflecting MEU’s growing commitment to sustainability, societal impact, and academic quality under the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Access the ranking here.
THE’s University Impact Rankings assess universities across multiple dimensions related to sustainable development—including health and well-being, clean energy, partnerships, responsible consumption, and more.
To be ranked, institutions typically must submit data on several SDGs (including SDG 17, “Partnerships for the Goals”) and perform well across a spectrum of indicators measuring environmental, social, economic, and governance impact.
Being recognized among the limited number of institutions meeting THE’s criteria boosts MEU’s visibility both locally and internationally. It signals that MEU is not just teaching and researching — but also contributing meaningfully to global challenges.
Rankings tied to societal impact tend to draw interest from NGOs, governmental bodies, international agencies, and donors focused on sustainable development. MEU’s performance in SDG-related metrics could open new opportunities.
This ranking gives MEU a tool to measure where it stands on things like clean energy, health and well-being, partnerships, etc. It can help the university prioritize investment in weaker areas to move up in future years.
