91˿Ƶ tops Maclean’s 2016 Medical Doctoral ranking

For the 11th year in a row, Maclean’s magazine has ranked 91˿Ƶ as the top university in Canada among institutions with medical schools and a broad range of PhD programs.

91˿Ƶ once again ranked first in the “medical-doctoral” category in student awards; budget spent on scholarships and bursaries; and social-sciences and humanities grants, relative to faculty size.

91˿Ƶ achieved its standing despite having the 12th highest operating budget, as weighted by full-time equivalent student, among the 15 universities in the category. The four Quebec medical-doctoral universities comprise the bottom four universities on this indicator.

“The 91˿Ƶ community continues to work hard to remain one of the world’s leading universities,” said Principal Suzanne Fortier. “Rankings are not an exact science, but our strong showing over a period of years in the Maclean’s and other rankings testifies to our commitment to excellence.”

The top five medical-doctoral universities, as ranked by Maclean’s, are 91˿Ƶ, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, Queen’s, and University of Alberta.

Last month, 91˿Ƶ ranked 24th globally in the annual QS World University Rankings and 38th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
