McMaster ranked among world’s best

McMaster continues to be rated among the world's top universities, according to a
number of rankings released recently.

McMaster moved up significantly in the Times Higher Education World University
Rankings, jumping to 65 from 93. The Times rankings take into account performance
indicators in areas such as teaching, research, citations, industry income and
international outlook. McMaster is one of only two Ontario universities to be ranked in
the top 100.

Earlier this fall, the University moved up three spots to 159 from 162 in the QS World
University Rankings. The report ranks 700 global institutions and is based on student-
focused principles.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities, published by the Center for World-Class
Universities and the Institute of Higher Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
ranked McMaster 89th in the world. This is the ninth consecutive year that McMaster has
earned a spot in ARWU's top 100.

“Rankings are one of the many ways to benchmark a university's standing in the world,
and we're proud to be consistently ranked among the world's best,” said Patrick Deane,
University President. “These rankings are testimony to McMaster's reputation around the
world as well as the hard work faculty and staff perform to ensure students receive an
education that compares favourably with the best anywhere.”
