Institutional excellence today requires more than visibility; it requires measurable outcomes, continuous improvement and the ability to demonstrate impact to students, employers, alumni and stakeholders.
Mariano Marcos State University and AppliedHE invite universities across the Philippines to a special webinar bringing together two complementary initiatives: the AppliedHE Signature Rankings and the 3M Performance Improvement Consulting Project.
Together, they give universities both a framework for regional recognition and practical tools for strengthening institutional performance. The combination creates a powerful pathway towards excellence, with greater visibility across ASEAN and Asia, alongside stronger outcomes in employability, alumni connectivity and student readiness.
The session is especially relevant for institutions looking to strengthen their regional visibility through the Public & Private University Rankings: ASEAN and ALL ASIA 2027, while exploring practical tools to move from visibility to action.
Public & Private University Rankings: ASEAN and ALL ASIA 2027
Unlike many conventional systems, AppliedHE separates public and private universities into distinct categories, so institutions are recognised according to their own missions, strengths and operating realities.
During the webinar, the session will explain
- Why AppliedHE separates public and private universities
- How the ranking methodology works
- What indicators are used in the assessment
- How universities can participate
- How the rankings support branding, visibility and international positioning
- Why ASEAN and ALL ASIA 2027 are key opportunities for Philippine institutions
Beyond rankings: practical tools for institutional outcomes
A practical institutional support framework focused on three key areas, helping universities move from visibility to action.
JOB-Ready
Strengthen graduate employability through stakeholder feedback and institutional assessment, turning the results into a branding and reputation-building tool that showcases graduate readiness and institutional impact.
ALUMNI-Ready
An alumni CRM to build stronger alumni databases, engagement and long-term relationships, while opening alumni giving, fundraising and partnership opportunities as a sustainable, revenue-generating channel.
SOFT SKILLS-Ready
Assess student soft skills to demonstrate graduate readiness beyond academics, while engaging employers to gather insights and close the gap between academia and industry.
