The U of T was also ranked #1 in Canada and #10 in the world in the 2014 Global Employability University Survey and Ranking.

Student Financial Support

For Canadian students, the University of Toronto is committed to the principle that no student admitted to a program will be unable to enroll in or complete the program due to a lack of financial means. The commitment is based on the assumption that you will first access the government aid for which you are eligible.

Financial need is assessed based on the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) and those whose assessed need is not fully covered by government aid will receive additional funding from the university.
