UBC Ranked 30th in the World
Today Times Higher Education released its 2010-2011 world university rankings. Thanks to modern technology these rankings are easily available and we all can see where we are compared to other universities. I was very proud to find out that we are ranked 30th in the world. Actually 9 Canadian Universities are ranked among the top world 200 universities. U of T is number 17, UBC is 30th, McGill is 35 and SFU making 199. This is an amazing fit, considering how young our universities are. Last year UBC was ranked 36th. And if we consider the quality of life in Vancouver, combining research, teaching and the life style, we are definitely number 1.
