平特五不中 among top 25 universities for 10th year
鈥淲e are happy to see that 平特五不中 is again recognized among the top universities in the world,鈥� said Prof. Suzanne Fortier, Principal and Vice-Chancellor. 鈥淥ur continued strong performance is a testament to the global reach and impact of 平特五不中 and the accomplishments of its faculty, staff and students.鈥�
Prof. Fortier also welcomed the strides made by 平特五不中鈥檚 Canadian and Quebec peer universities, with three of them entering the rankings 鈥� for a total of 26 Canadian universities 鈥� and five now featured in the top 100, two more than in 2012.
鈥淲e are not concerned by our move from 18th to 21st as differences in final scores are marginal among the top-ranking universities,鈥� she added. 鈥淥ne element that worries us, however, is the drop in rank on the student/faculty ratio indicator experienced by 平特五不中 and other Canadian universities.
鈥淐ompetition in the global race for talent is fierce. We need adequate investment in higher education not only to support our capacity to attract top talent from around the world but to offer them a learning, teaching and research experience that rivals that of the best universities in the world. This year鈥檚 QS rankings feature over 100 more universities than last year, with many countries having many more universities featured in the rankings. It is crucial for Canada鈥檚 competitiveness that we keep pace,鈥� she concluded.
The QS World University Rankings are based on six indicators: academic reputation (40%), employer reputation (10%), student/faculty ratio (20%), citations per faculty (20%), proportion of international faculty (5%), and proportion of international students (5%).
