In the latest QS Stars University Ratings officially announced at the QS Apple Conference on November 1, 2021, Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) attained a QS 5 Stars Plus university rating – the first and only in Malaysia!. Only 18 universities from around the world have achieved this rating.

The system evaluates universities across a wide range of key performance indicators against established international standards and benchmarks.
APU earned five-star ratings in all nine categories, namely – Teaching, Employability, Internationalisation, Academic Development, Facilities, Social Responsibility, Inclusiveness, Specialist criteria – Accounting & Finance, Online Learning, the maximum number possible! The criteria for these categories are aimed at providing higher learning institutions with an opportunity to stand out in their particular areas of excellence.
According to Leigh Kamolins, Head of Evaluation, QS Intelligence Unit, "The QS Stars university rating system audits and rates over 600 universities globally in a broader range of criteria than any world ranking exercise. Comprehensive audits are also independently carried out as part of the rating exercise. QS Stars™ shines a light on both the excellence and the diversity of the rated institution.
