The University of Victoria has maintained its first-place position for the second year in a row as the top comprehensive university in Canada in the annual university rankings by Maclean’s magazine, this time tied with Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University.
“UVic’s consistent high ranking is a tribute to our people, the students, faculty and staff who make UVic what it is today,” says UVic President David Turpin. “It also is gratifying every year to see the attention paid to post-secondary education by a national magazine. The annual rankings emphasize the integral role played by universities in a changing world.”
Just like last year, UVic scored well in every ranking category and finished in the upper half in all 13 categories. UVic ranked particularly highly in the categories of faculty awards, medical science grants, research activity, scholarships and bursaries for students and the library.
UVic’s annual high ranking is testament to the top calibre of faculty, students and support at UVic. And although it is only one measure of success (the University of Victoria uses various measures such as a regular survey of students and graduates to determine quality of experience), the Maclean’s rankings serves as a useful resource for students considering a post-secondary education.
