Thanks Reenie.
Any idea about US universities?

For PhDs in Canadian and American universities it is best to look at individual professor profiles. To find professors in your field I suggest looking more closely at the authors of key publications. University rankings can also be useful to give you a rough idea of what schools excel in your field of interest, but I wouldn't take them too seriously. Then, determine which professors' research interests are similar to your own and send them a brief email expressing your interest in pursuing a PhD with them as well as detailing your research interests and qualifications.

Hope this helps!
