The 2010-11 Times Higher Education rankings, a global universities ranking system, has included nine Canadian universities on this year's list. The University of Toronto is the highest ranking Canadian institution to make the cut, placing 17 out of 200.

"Although 2010-11 is the seventh year that Times Higher Education has published its annual rankings, these tables represent a new level of sophistication. In light of this, the top 200 list and the six subject tables we are publishing should be considered the first of a new annual series, for we have completely overhauled the methodology to deliver our most rigorous, transparent and reliable rankings tables ever. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2010-11 were developed in concert with our new rankings data provider, Thomson Reuters, with input from more than 50 leading figures in the sector from 15 countries across every continent, and through 10 months of extensive consultation. We believe we have created the gold standard in international university performance comparisons."

"We are confident that the 2010-2011 world university rankings represent the most accurate picture of global higher education we have ever produced."
