UK universities rise up rankings

Britain’s performance in a league table of the world’s top universities has improved, but the US still dominates.
Four of the top 10 are British and the rest American. Harvard is top and Yale, Oxford and Cambridge joint second.

University College London breaks into the top 10 for the first time and Imperial College London rises to fifth.

The annual survey by the Times Higher Education Supplement and careers and education group QS ranks according to factors including academics’ opinions.

…bummer; only in the top 10. Oh well :-/

    I do suspect, from some of the things that Catrin says, that how high up you are in the world rankings is a direct measure of how much like a US university you are.

  2. @Jim: good point; there are no mentions of Chinese universities which dominate other tables…
