McMaster moves up six spots in QS World University Rankings
In an annual ranking of the world’s top universities, McMaster has been ranked 140th in the world – an increase of six spots over last year.
McMaster was one of only two universities in Canada’s top seven that saw their score and global rank increase in the 2020 QS World University Rankings, an international assessment that measures the world’s top 1,000 universities on a number of criteria, including academic reputation, citations per faculty and faculty/student ratio.
McMaster’s scores improved in areas including academic reputation (which is weighted at 40% of the overall score), student/faculty ratio and percentage of international students.
MIT, Stanford, Harvard and Oxford were the top four globally ranked universities.
The QS World University Rankings is one of several university ranking lists published annually.
Earlier this year, McMaster was ranked second in the world for global impact by Times Higher Education, a U.K.-based ranking organization.
