The Best Universities in the World

The latest global university ranking has been released by Times Higher Education, putting the UK's Oxford University at the top of the pile once again. Institutions are ranked based on five indicators: teaching, research environment, research quality, international outlook and industry income/patents.

On this basis, the United Kingdom and United States completely dominate the top of the list, with only three universities in the top 20 represented by other countries: Switzerland, China and Singapore.
