The Times Higher Education 2019 World University Rankings by Subject ranked the University of Toronto Faculty of Law among the Top 10 public law schools, according to new rankings by the prestigious Times Higher Education.
In addition, the University of Toronto ranks highest in Canada in nine different subjects, and is one of only eight universities in the world to place in the Top 50 across 11 subjects. The Times Higher Education recognized U of T as the leader in Canada, with the university earning the top spot nationally for nine out of 11 subjects in a variety of disciplines, including arts and humanities, life sciences and engineering and technology.
The publication’s subject rankings use the same indicators as the world university rankings, but the methodology is modified for each subject. Those indicators include teaching, research, citations and international outlook.
