鈥淚t is also a testament to our unyielding commitment to research, innovation and academic excellence.鈥

Quacquarelli Symonds evaluates universities by looking at five broad fields 鈥 Arts & Humanities, Engineering & Technology, Life Sciences & Medicine, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences & Management 鈥 and 51 specific subjects. The results are based on four measures: academic survey results, employer review survey results, citations per faculty and an index that attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar.

Each metric is weighted differently depending on the subject. Survey-based indicators are more heavily weighted for arts, humanities and social sciences, for instance, while citation-based indicators are more important for STEM and medicine subjects.

All data compiled for the rankings are from third-party sources as opposed to the institutions being graded, according to Quacquarelli Symonds.

The university鈥檚 overall performance in the ranking held steady from last year, with improvements in 18 subjects and declines in 22. Its ranking remained unchanged in seven subjects and was ranked for the first time in one: communication and media studies (34th).

Overall, 麻豆视频 continues to be the highest-ranked Canadian university and ranked among the top 25 universities globally in the five most closely watched international rankings: Times Higher Education World University Rankings, QS World University Rankings, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy鈥檚 Academic Ranking of World Universities, U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 Best Global Universities Rankings and National Taiwan University World University Ranking.
