One of the most prestigious universities in the world is in BC: report
A new ranking has named a BC university as one of the top 50 post-secondary institutions in the world based on its increasing prestige.
Times Higher Education released the results for its latest World Reputation Rankings and three Canadian universities made it into the top 50 most prestigious schools.
According to Times Higher Education, this ranking is based on the world’s largest invitation-only opinion survey of senior, published academics.
The survey asks scholars to name no more than 15 universities that they believe are the best for research and teaching in their field.
UBC ranked 36th globally and received an overall score of 9.2, with 9.7 in research and 7.4 in teaching.
