Time<\/em> magazine has named Brock University as one of the World\u2019s Top Universities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news magazine\u2019s inaugural ranking, published online Wednesday, Jan. 28, highlights Brock as one of the Top 15 universities in Ontario, Top 25 in Canada and the Top 500 across the globe.<\/p>\n

Brock placed 472 overall in the rankings, which celebrate universities around the world that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to fostering environments where students thrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime<\/em> magazine\u2019s rankings support what we already know to be true: Brock University is a dynamic institution rooted in community that shines thanks to its teaching and research excellence and renowned student experience,\u201d says President and Vice-Chancellor Lesley Rigg. \u201cBrock is where students come to realize their full potential and gain the skills and knowledge to reimagine the future and reshape the world. We\u2019re proud of all that we\u2019re able to accomplish together as we support the academic growth and career aspirations of the leaders of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conducted in partnership with research firm Statista, the global rankings reviewed more than 2,500 institutions worldwide and looked at three key pillars of higher education excellence: academic capacity and performance; innovation and economic impact; and global engagement.<\/p>\n

A wide range of data was collected and verified by Statista to analyze how well each university is positioned to produce world-class scholarship, translate knowledge into real-world value and build its international footprint both through on-campus internationality and worldwide attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the efforts of our talented and dedicated faculty and staff, Brock continues to make its mark in each of these key areas \u2014 and the world is increasingly taking notice,\u201d Rigg says.<\/p>\n

Brock also received recognition earlier this month in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings<\/a>, with the University\u2019s Psychology and Education Studies programs ranking 401-500 and 501-600, respectively.<\/p>\n

Time<\/em>\u2019s World\u2019s Top Universities rankings will be published in the magazine\u2019s print edition on Friday, Feb. 20.<\/p>\n

Editors note: Due to a post-publication methodology update by Time magazine that impacted the rankings as a whole, Brock’s overall rank shifted to 472 from 471.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
