Eighth in the World, First in Canada
In the recent Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings, Engineering at the University of Toronto rose two places. We now rank 8th in the world and remain in first place for the third consecutive year among Canadian universities in the Engineering and IT category. While no one survey captures all of our strengths, this confirms our global reputation as the premier engineering institution in Canada and among the world’s very best. This rewarding assessment from our peers, acknowledging our excellence in research and engineering education, enhances our ability to recruit talented students and exceptional faculty. Congratulations! We can all take pride in this achievement and for supporting the accomplishments of our faculty, students and alumni.
