York University ranks top 35 in the world

This year, York was recognized among the Top 35 in the 2024 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, distinguishing ourselves among 2,100+ universities as a global leader in sustainability and maintaining our position among the top 6 per cent of universities worldwide for the fifth year in a row. A key driver of this recognition is the extensive work York has done to unify the University community towards elevating our collective contributions to the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

This recognition by Times Higher Education builds upon York’s already burgeoning impact, which has been spotlighted continuously on the global stage, including by ranking in the top four on Maclean’s 2024 University Rankings.
