Applied research and innovation at Humber College is in growth mode, evidenced by a substantial increase in its ranking among Canada’s Top 50 Research Colleges, leaping 10 spots to 20th place in only one year.

Humber College ranked in the top three colleges in Canada in several key areas including the number of research partnerships and the number of paid student researchers. These metrics help demonstrate the importance and validity of work done with our partners. Humber also achieved a 45 percent increase in research income.
