The �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ was once again named the top university in Canada and one of the top 20 in the world – this time by the 2014 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, released October 1.

This is the third consecutive major global rankings survey in 2014 to name �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ first in Canada and among the world’s best. �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ recently and, in August, was in the Shanghai Jiao Tong’s Academic Ranking of World Universities. 

It’s also the second year in a row that the THE rankings awarded �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ the 20th spot. The university also scored highly by subject, jumping to 13th from 15th last year in the field of clinical, pre-clinical and health. 

"Our consistently strong performance in world university rankings reflects �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ’s excellence in teaching and the global impact of �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ research. Our students, faculty, staff and alumni are leading the way in every field, and it’s being noticed around the world,” said �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ President Meric Gertler. “Even as the global competition between leading universities becomes increasingly intense, the �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ continues to be a top destination for the world’s best scholars.”

THE rankings judge world-class universities by employing 13 performance indicators to provide comparisons of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ improved in nearly all of its metric category scores.

Alongside �ܼ�����ѿ�����ȫ, three other Canadian universities made this year’s top 100: University of British Columbia, McGill University and McMaster University.
