Trent University is among the world's top universities, according to the recently released Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) 2015 list of the world’s top 1,000 universities, coming in at number 31 nationally, and number 910 overall worldwide.

“It’s wonderful that Trent University continues to be recognized both nationally and internationally for the exceptional learning environment we provide to students,” said Dr. Neil Emery, vice president, Research and International, and professor of Biology at Trent University. “The rankings demonstrate that, although Trent is known as a university with a small community feel, we offer an interactive learning atmosphere with a strong focus on research and innovation that is recognized and valued the world over.”

The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) is the only global university ranking measuring the quality of education and training of students as well as the prestige of the faculty members and the quality of their research, without relying on surveys and university data submissions.

CWUR uses eight indicators to rank the world's top 1,000 universities including: quality of education, alumni employment, quality of faculty, publications, influence, citations, broad impact and patents.

CWUR’s top ten universities are all from the U.S. and the U.K. with Harvard University topping the list at number one. Out of Canada’s 97 universities, only 33 made the list, including Trent.
