The University of Toronto ranked first in Canada – and among the top 30 universities worldwide – in all 11 major subject areas tracked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject 2026.
U of T was one of just six institutions in the world – and the only Canadian university – to achieve a top 30 spot in all of Times Higher Education’s broad subject areas, which range from arts and humanities to engineering and life sciences. The others were the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles.
The rankings, which evaluate both teaching and research, placed U of T ninth in the world in medical and health – the same spot in the top 10 it has held for the past three years.
“The University of Toronto’s consistently strong performance in these rankings reflects the outstanding contributions of our faculty, librarians, students and staff,” said U of T President Melanie Woodin.
“It is a testament to their dedication, creativity and excellence across an incredibly broad range of disciplines.
