QS World University Rankings for this year have 31 Canadian universities in it, but only three have made the top 100.

    Saying only 3 are in the top 100, after a significant methodological update but not saying whether or not overall Canadian universities are faring better or worse, seems disingenuous.

    From what I can tell from this story, the top 3 Canadian universities moved up within the top 100 (U of Toronto, McGill & UBC moved up, UBC significantly). There is also a cluster just above 100s.

    So unless there were a group of Canadian universities that fell out of the rankings, Canadian universities seem to be placing higher.

    Anyone else have anything from other coverage?

      Not to mention that Canada is only about 0.5% of the total world population, so having 3% of the top 100 schools is pretty good. We’re actually 6% of the top 50 too given these rankings.

      21 (UoT), 30 (McGill), and 34 (UBC)
