University of Victoria ranked second among Canadian mid-sized universities

The University of Victoria (UVic) has been ranked as the second-best mid-sized university in Canada in Maclean’s magazine’s 2027 annual rankings. Mid-sized institutions are defined as those with between 10,000 and 30,000 full-time students. UVic placed second in this category, trailing only Simon Fraser University.

The evaluation was based on four primary criteria: student resources and support (32%), student experience and success (28%), faculty quality (25%), and reputation (15%). UVic also achieved the top ranking in Canada for research impact among mid-sized universities and placed second for medical-science grants, scholarships, and bursaries.

Lisa Kalynchuk, UVic’s vice-president of research and innovation, noted that the results reflect the strength of the university’s research community. Acting president Robina Thomas also highlighted how the university’s Pacific Northwest setting influences its identity and opportunities.
