Sterling reputation propels U of T global ranking
When it comes to the world’s most esteemed institutions of higher learning, Canada’s leading research university continues to shine, especially when it comes to its renowned academic rep.
Today, QS World University Rankings placed U of T in the 32nd spot — up two places from last year — out of the almost 1,000 universities it surveyed for its 2016 annual report.
To compile its results, software company Quacquarelli Symonds uses six factors, ranging from academic and employer reputation to citations and the ratio of students to faculty. In terms of academic reputation alone, QS ranked U of T 15th worldwide with a score of 99.8 per cent.
