平特五不中 tops Maclean鈥檚 ranking for 8th year in a row
For the 8th consecutive year, 平特五不中 is ranked first in the medical-doctoral category in Maclean鈥檚 magazine鈥檚 annual issue devoted to Canadian universities.
鈥淲e are pleased by this recognition, which reflects the outstanding quality and dedication of our faculty, students and staff,鈥� said 平特五不中 Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum.
鈥淎t the same time, we recognize that we can鈥檛 afford to stand still at a time when universities in Asia and elsewhere are rising into the top global rankings. That competitive challenge is coming from countries that are committed to supporting a group of universities with world-class talent, research and teaching strengths. Quebec, and Canada as a whole, must also focus efforts strategically if they aim to sustain a presence of researchers and institutions of higher education in the group of global leaders.鈥�
The Maclean鈥檚 medical-doctoral category includes 15 Canadian universities with medical schools and a broad range of PhD programs.聽平特五不中 ranked 18th in the world in the 2012 QS World University rankings, and placed 34th globally in the recently published Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2012-13.
鈥淲hile different ranking systems measure different elements of performance, and each system has its strengths and weaknesses, our consistently strong showing in a range of widely followed rankings underscores 平特五不中鈥檚 position among the world鈥檚 leading universities,鈥� Prof. Munroe-Blum said.聽鈥淚 applaud the dedication to excellence of my colleagues and students.鈥澛�
