Top global university rankings 2013-2014
BBC News
US universities are still the most dominant international force in the Times Higher Education rankings.
In top place, as last year, is the California Institute of Technology.
In the UK there are concerns that, outside Oxford, Cambridge and London colleges, many major universities are slipping down international rankings.
The so-called “golden triangle” of UK universities – Oxford, Cambridge and leading London institutions – is seen as a breakaway elite group, with these universities consolidating their international reputations.
Imperial College, University College London, LSE and King’s College London are all in the top 40. London has more universities in this league table than all of Japan, although only Imperial College makes the top 10.
The top 20 still reflects the dominance of wealthy US university powerhouses, taking 15 of the top 20 places, with institutions such Harvard, MIT and Stanford in the leading pack behind the California Institute of Technology.
The highest UK university is Oxford and the highest ranked continental European university is ETH Zurich in Switzerland, which is also the only non-English speaking university in this top 40.
