Which is better, University of British Columbia or University of Melbourne?

Hello, this classmate: these two universities are among the top universities in the world in terms of comprehensive strength 100, and their cities (Vancouver and Melbourne) are also among the top three in the world in terms of livability of UN cities. In addition, Canada and Australia are both Commonwealth countries, and they have many similarities. I can understand the difficulty in choosing a school under this background.

Let's compare the international comprehensive rankings of the two universities first. The so-called "comprehensive ranking" refers to an all-round contest including the reputation of the school, the proportion of international students, the quality of teaching, the life experience of students at school, the employment tracking after graduation, and the level of academic research. Three world-renowned universities, the latest ranking results are as follows:

Times Higher Education 20 13-20 14 Annual Ranking Results

UBC #3 1

Melbourne 34

The ranking results of Qs top universities in 20 13-20 14.

UBC ranked 49 th

Melbourne #3 1

Academic ranking of world universities Shanghai Jiaotong University 20 13 ranking results.

40 th place in UBC

Melbourne #54

Secondly, you should consider the major or field you want to study in the future. These three ranking institutions, especially QS, have special rankings in majors and departments. So if the comprehensive ranking is still difficult to choose, you can check the professional ranking. If necessary, you can tell me your target major or department, and I'll check it for you.

The last thing I want to tell you is that ranking is not unique. The ranking of universities and the strength of cities are only one aspect. Ask yourself: which place do you yearn for more? Which university gives you more scholarships? In which city have you met relatives, friends or acquaintances who can give you necessary help in your life and study?

I hope the above information is helpful to you. Welcome to ask questions. I wish you all the best and enjoy studying abroad:-)
