University of Toronto graduates are among the world’s most desirable in the eyes of employers, according to a new ranking by Times Higher Education.
U of T was ranked 12th in the world and the number-one public university in North America in the magazine’s graduate Global Employability University Ranking 2023-2024, which surveys top employers to determine which universities produce graduates with the skills necessary to succeed in the workforce.
The ranking evaluated 250 universities from 44 countries.
“The global demand for University of Toronto graduates reflects the quality of the students we attract and the education we provide,” said U of T President Meric Gertler.

This year’s results were based on 100,700 votes cast by 11,560 participants, each of whom can select up to 10 universities.
