The 2022 report looked at 13 indicators of a university’s performance, the most important being research, citations, and teaching. Other indicators include income from research and the ratio of international to domestic students at a school — more international students suggest the school has a prestigious global reputation.

UBC dropped a few points down the list from last year. In the 2021 rankings, they came in at #34.

Simon Fraser University also made the list, at #201-250.
