Ladies and Gentlemen; World class university is not an easy title to achieve for many universities es!ecially in the develo!ment country. Almost universities that have this title are in the modern country. "hey can achieve this title because of many factors that su!!ort them to be a world class university have been accom!lished. To become world class university we need some criterions that has to be reached With that criterion, we can !now what aspects should be improved to become a world class university "or our beloved sebelas maret university #$% we know there are models of world university rankin that will !otitioned our university in the world rank and one of them is called webometric. &ur university follow this model of world university rankin model. With this model, we know our university !osition in the world rankin , and it will affects our university to become a world class university. But, this system o" world university ran!ing have some problems #or e$ample, this system dominated by universities in modern country such as america, europe, australia, and other modern country %t also only has advantage to university that has &nglish language to their medium language 'nd there are some unclear criterion in this system #$% We can not only de!end our university to these system of world university rankin because there are still many other thin that can make our university to become a world class university. (ne o" them is e'cellence in education of the students. ('cellence in education we refer to the resources and or ani)ation of under raduate, raduate, and !rofessional instruction and educational o!!ortunities for students. Clearly, this oal re*uires outstandin faculty, hi h *uality teachin and other instructional activities, and availability of ood libraries, laboratories, and other !ertinent facilities as well as hi hly !re!ared and motivated students who serve to educate throu h their !eer influence. +esearch, develo!ment, and dissemination of knowled e refer to the embryonic identification, rowth, and e'tension of conce!ts and ideas as well as their transformation into a!!lications, oods, and services that enhance understandin and welfare.

From a study, we can know that our university has a hi h !rocenta e of time delay to et a job u! to less than ./ months for our raduate. "his can be a ood o!!ortunities for our university to im!roved for world class university title !ur!ose.
