A stellar academic reputation helped secure the 狐狸视频鈥檚 position as one of the top post-secondary institutions in the world in the latest QS World University Rankings.

The prestigious annual list, published by higher education firm Quacquarelli Symonds, ranked U of T first in Canada and 29th out of more than 1,000 universities worldwide.

Among public institutions, meanwhile, U of T ranked 18th globally and third in North America.  

鈥淭he 狐狸视频 is grateful to be recognized once again as one of the top academic institutions in the world,鈥 said U of T President Meric Gertler.

The QS World University Rankings is based on six measures: academic reputation, employer reputation, international student and faculty scores, a faculty-student ratio score and a citations-faculty score.

U of T, which was 28th globally in the same ranking last year, achieved some of its highest marks in the academic and employer reputation measures. The university rose one spot to 17th globally in the academic reputation measure this year, and eight spots, to 27th from 35th, in employer reputation.

Six other Canadian universities were in QS鈥檚 top 200 this year. They include McGill University, which ranked 35th and the University of British Columbia, which ranked 51st.

The top-ranked university on this year鈥檚 list was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the Times Higher Education ranking, U of T leads Canadian universities and is one of only eight universities in the world to place in the top 50 across 11 subjects.
