Quacquarelli Symonds has released the 2026 World University Rankings, which include 1,500 institutions from over 100 locations. Institutions are scored and ranked according to factors like research and discovery, learning experience, and global engagement. Four Canadian universities appeared in the top 100: McGill University (#27), the University of Toronto (#29), the University of British Columbia (#40), and the University of Alberta (tied for #94). Narcity reports that this marks a change in the order of Canadian institutions, as previous editions of the rankings—including 2025 and 2024—saw U of T claiming the highest ranking in Canada.
