U of T nabs 4th spot in 2016 National Taiwan University Ranking
The University of Toronto ranks fourth in the world, behind Harvard, Stanford and Johns Hopkins universities, according to the 2016 National Taiwan University Ranking (NTU).
It’s the top-ranked public university in the ranking, followed by Oxford University in fifth place.
“Once again, these results demonstrate the excellence and global impact of the research produced by the University of Toronto’s faculty and students in a range of subjects, from pharmacology and toxicology to electrical engineering,” said Vivek Goel, vice-president of research and innovation. “Overall, U of T has done exceptionally well in international rankings this fall.”
Unlike other international rankings, the NTU only analyzes and ranks scientific papers of the top 500 universities based on research productivity, research impact and research excellence. It categorizes them into six fields and then breaks the results down further into 14 subject areas.
