The Gulf Independent Abu Dhabi University Breaks into Top 200 in World Rankings


"Rankings are not the be-all and end-all, but rather a tool that universities can use to help them become their best selves," states the Times Higher Education Report 2025. Times Higher Education recently unveiled its 2025 World University Rankings after evaluating 2,000 institutions across 115 countries and territories.

In this year's ranking, universities from the Gulf nations received notable recognition. Abu Dhabi University and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia emerged as the best-ranked institutions in the region. Notably, this is the first time a university from the UAE has broken into the top 200. Abu Dhabi University, which ranked among the top 350 in 2023 and between 201-250 in 2024, improved its standing to 191 in 2025. Oxford University, meanwhile, retained its position as the top-ranked university for the ninth consecutive year.

The rankings are based on 18 performance indicators, covering aspects such as teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and internationalization.

Abu Dhabi University's rise in global rankings reflects its commitment to academic excellence and research, solidifying its reputation as a leading institution in the region and beyond.

For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period.
