It’s official: for the 21st consecutive year, Maclean’s has named this Montreal university Canada’s best medical doctoral university.
Bordering on the Plateau Mont-Royal, recently ranked one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world — and steps from this recently renovated luxury hotel — this university was highlighted for the university’s global influence, pioneering research, and strong international reputation.

The school also consistently ranks among Canada’s top recipients of research funding and boasts more Rhodes Scholars and Nobel laureates than any other institution in the country.
The university's distinguished legacy was further cemented on October 13, when alumnus Peter Howitt (BA’68) was named co-winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Economics.
What is the highest-ranked medical school in Canada?
Maclean’s evaluated universities across five main categories—students, faculty, resources, student support, and reputation—using 12 performance indicators.
This year, McGill placed in the top three for eight of those indicators and stood out as the only medical-doctoral university to rank in the top 10 across all categories.
Located in the heart of Downtown, just a few blocks from the Montreal Eaton Centre, McGill University is steps from some of the city's best museums and Time Out Market Montréal—home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city under one roof.
Montreal, recently named one of the top 10 best cities for students, is known for its winning blend of cultural diversity, affordability, and academic excellence, making it a top choice for students worldwide.
And we haven’t even mentioned all the city’s incredible things to do—cheap eats and amazing free activities included.
