When it comes to education, Canadian schools always seem to top the charts. The QS World University Rankings for 2024 has just been released, and several universities here in the north have earned top scores.
The 20th edition of this ranking has analyzed 1,500 universities across 104 locations to determine the top schools worldwide.
This ranking is said to be the only one of its kind that emphasizes employability and sustainability.
This year, the report has included three new metrics: Sustainability, Employment Outcomes, and International Research Network.
Each school has been given a score out of 100 in a variety of categories, including Academic Reputation, Faculty Student Ratio, and International Student Ratio.
The results are based on 17.5 million academic papers and expert opinions of over 240,000 academic faculty and employers.
