Are you all about the arts and humanities? U of A ranked 137th in the world in that area and fifth in Canada.
Life sciences and medicine saw U of A once again take the fifth spot in Canada and 73rd in the world. The top global distinction went to Harvard, followed by Oxford and John Hopkins University, respectfully.
For natural sciences, U of A ranked 114th globally and fifth in Canada.
For engineering and technology, the university took the 100th spot globally and again ranked fifth in Canada.
While U of A students certainly have something to brag about, they have some fierce competition. The University of Toronto repeatedly emerged as Canada’s top post-secondary school the most on the list, even placing among some big names in the top 10 for one subject: arts and humanities.
The University of British Columbia and McGill University in Montreal also ranked highly in most subjects, according to the online ranking.
