Waterloo was ranked 97th in the world in the Times Higher Education’s (THE) World Reputation Rankings for 2025, which surveyed more than 55,000 researchers and scholars from around the globe. 

“Our professors and students continue to embrace Waterloo’s unconventional roots to push the envelope when it comes to innovation, entrepreneurship, co-op and work-integrated learning at scale with impact,” says Vivek Goel, Waterloo’s president and vice-chancellor.

The University of Waterloo earned a gold rating for sustainability through a North American evaluation for universities and colleges.

The STARS program, administered by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, measures various ways that colleges and universities are supporting sustainability.

The evaluation looks at more than 60 indicators that cover academics, engagement, operations, planning and administration, and innovation and leadership.
