These Canadian universities are ranked among the best in the world for 2023

Canada has a lot of great things going for it, including its post-secondary schools. Four Canadian schools have made it into the top 100 list of the World University Rankings for 2023.

The 2023 ranking by the Times Higher Education is the largest and most diverse to date, featuring nearly 1,800 schools across 104 countries.

The schools are evaluated using 13 “carefully calibrated performance indicators” in four distinct categories: teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.
