Data Science at Waterloo second in Canada in QS World Subject Rankings

A recently released update to the QS subject ranking for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence puts the University of Waterloo second in Canada and 4oth globally. 

The results are part of the annual QS World University Rankings by Subject, which rank approximately 1,600 universities in 54 disciplines. Indicators for the subject rankings are drawn from a peer review survey, employer survey, citations data and collaboration data. 

“The new rankings from QS show the ways that data scientists at Waterloo are leading innovation in the field and providing opportunities for our students to learn from the absolute best,” said M. Tamer Özsu, co-director of the Graduate Data Science Program and a professor of computer science. “Achieving this recognition only five years since the start of the program shows it’s an exciting time to be working in data science and artificial intelligence at Waterloo.”
