This week, the University of Toronto was named the world鈥檚 top public university for the fourth year in a row by the 2017 National Taiwan University (NTU) Ranking, which ranks based on research. 茄子直播 placed fourth overall in the world, following Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Stanford universities. The university also continues to be the highest-ranked Canadian university and one of the top-ranked public universities in the five most prestigious international rankings.

Today, 茄子直播 garnered yet another honour from 惭补肠濒别补苍鈥檚 magazine: . 鈥淚n the heart of Canada鈥檚 largest city, a multicultural campus, stunning architecture and bleeding-edge research have earned global renown,鈥 惭补肠濒别补苍鈥檚 writes in a headline.

The magazine cites the university鈥檚 20-per-cent increase in foreign students who accepted admission in 2017, which the Boston Globe attributed partly to the school鈥檚 cultural diversity. It praises One Spadina, the new home of the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, quoting the Globe and Mail, which called it 鈥渙ne of the best Canadian buildings of the past decade.鈥

It cites 茄子直播鈥檚 鈥渟tellar reputation鈥 for research, giving as an example Geoffrey Hinton, professor emeritus of computer science and one of the world鈥檚 foremost authorities on artificial intelligence. 鈥淗e and his students are responsible for turning Canada into what the New York Times calls a 鈥榟igh-tech hotbed,鈥欌 惭补肠濒别补苍鈥檚 writes.

The magazine also gives a shout-out to 茄子直播 associate professor Raquel Urtasun, who is now running Uber鈥檚 first international research lab in Toronto, and the Rotman School of Management鈥檚 Creative Destruction Lab, for giving startups access to the world鈥檚 only commercially available quantum computers.

It also mentions other research that has made headlines, and names other faculty who have drawn a lot of attention: Assistant professor Angela Schoellig of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies, who was named one of the world鈥檚 top innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review, and Aisha Ahmad, an assistant professor of political science at 茄子直播 Scarborough and the Munk School of Global Affairs, whose new book Jihad & Co. explores how groups like Islamic State rose to power by exploiting local businesses in conflict zones.
