The 狐狸视频 is rated first in Canada and 24th globally in the latest edition of ShanghaiRanking Consultancy鈥檚 worldwide university rankings.

Among public universities, U of T placed sixth in North America and 13th overall in , released earlier this week.

This marks the seventh year in a row that U of T has placed among the world鈥檚 top 25 universities in the closely watched annual ranking, which was first launched in 2003.

鈥淲e are thrilled to see the 狐狸视频 once again recognized as a world leader in research and education,鈥 said Leah Cowen, vice-president, research and innovation, and strategic initiatives.

鈥淥ur consistent performance in these and other worldwide rankings reflects U of T鈥檚 unwavering commitment to making new discoveries, advancing knowledge across disciplines and producing graduates who can effect change on a global scale.鈥

The Academic Ranking of World Universities is based on six weighted measures related to research and academic performance. They include: the number of alumni and faculty winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals; the number of highly-cited researchers in 21 broad subject categories; the number of papers published in the prestigious journals Nature and Science; articles cited in major science and social sciences citation indices; and each institution鈥檚 per capita academic performance.

In all, the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy evaluated more than 2,500 universities to determine the 1,000 that would make the cut for its 2023 publication.

U of T received a similar score to last year but dropped two spots as the rising performance of Chinese universities saw Tsinghua University join the top 25 for the first time while Imperial College London, ranked 23rd, maintained its position.

The ranking鈥檚 top 10 universities were identical to 2022, with Harvard University taking the top spot in the ranking, followed by Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Cambridge, the University of California, Berkeley, Princeton University, University of Oxford, Columbia University, the California Institute of Technology and University of Chicago.

Four other Canadian universities made the top 100: the University of British Columbia (44), McGill University (70), University of Alberta (91) and McMaster University (98).

Overall, U of T is ranked first in Canada and among the top 25 universities globally in the five most closely watched international rankings: QS World University Rankings, U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 Best Global Universities, Times Higher Education鈥檚 World University Rankings, ShanghaiRanking Consultancy鈥檚 Academic Ranking of World Universities and National Taiwan University World University Rankings.
