The highly anticipated 2021 QS World University Rankings by Subject have been released. This year's ranking evaluated 1,440 universities worldwide, conducting a comprehensive assessment across 5 broad subject areas, 51 disciplines, and over 13,000 university programs. Canadian universities performed exceptionally well.
This ranking is based on four key indicators: Academic Reputation (professional evaluation and recognition from 83,000 leading global experts and scholars); Employer Reputation (evaluations and recognition from 42,000 industry-leading global employers regarding graduates from these disciplines); Research Impact (the average citations per paper in Scopus—the world's largest database of academic literature—over the past five years, involving tens of millions of academic papers and over 100 million citations); and the H-index (measuring the productivity and citation impact of the publications). So, how did Canadian universities fare across the 5 broad subject areas?

It is well known that the QS World University Rankings serve as a benchmark for international studies, recognized alongside the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the US News & World Report Best Global Universities Rankings, and the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) as one of the four most credible and representative university rankings globally. Compared to overall institutional rankings, the QS subject rankings provide more specific references for professional development for international students.
Overall, the quality of education in Canada has long been internationally acclaimed, and Canadian universities consistently appear on various prestigious rankings. Of course, rankings are merely a reference; the most suitable school is always the best choice. When planning for education, securing residency status is key. Allowing your child to receive a high-quality education in Canada and obtaining Canadian residency is a superior choice. Canada is a culturally diverse country with high inclusivity, making it a top destination for global investors. A child's education cannot wait, and status planning should be done early.
