The top 10 Universities in the world 2012-13

Introduction to the site

This site is all about University league tables covering the top Universities in the UK plus the major World University rankings showing the best Universities in the world. What sets this site apart from others are the interactive league tables in the UK and World University ranking sections. Users can sort by league table ranking, country (in the world section), region (in the UK section) or by institution. Sort and filter options allow users to view rankings data in a variety of ways.

We understand the increasing need and importance of University performance indicators. For better or worse, University league tables with all their inherent limitations are increasingly held up as the measure of choice for stakeholders assessing University performance. In fact, a closer inspection of many University websites and the corporate strategy documents contained therein often state a national or global league table target position as a key performance indicator.

The popularity of University league tables has led to their proliferation - and that is where we come in. Our mission is to bring all the information together in one place and to present an unbiased summary of the sectors leading University league tables. We hope you enjoy this site.

The News section provides a more in-depth look at league table news and results.

On this site you will find the leading UK University rankings and the major World University rankings. The league table release dates section below keeps you informed of developments and new releases. An overview of subject rankings at both UK and global level are also included.

The top graduate employers section looks at the annual results of the Times Top 100 graduate employers plus the Guardian UK 300 graduate survey.

Recent developments in the UK higher education scene have put student choice at the heart of the sector. Each year the students get the chance to deliver a vote of confidence in their University's teaching environment via the National Student Survey - check out the results!

List lovers will find themselves at home in the Top Universities in UK section with a comprehensive list of UK Universities. The section is broken down into sub-lists covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A Universities in London section completes the UK story providing rankings, maps and institutional profiles. The top ranking Universities from Europe, the US, Canada, South America, Australia and New Zealand, Asia and Africa are listed in the Top Universities in the world section. All listed Universities have links to their respective University homepage.

For those that are looking for a University guide, we include a summary of the leading UK guides including the Complete University guide, the Times good University guide, the student room, the Guardian University guide along with the UCAS University guide.

League table disclaimer: whilst we aim to promote University league tables we never get too carried away with their meaning. They are highly contentious both within and outside the academic world.

For those wanting a more serious look at league table ramifications we encourage you to visit the home pages of the main league table providers (click graphics boxes at the top of the league table sections for provider link). For those of you who are league table connoissiers, a delve into the ranking methodologies is recommended. UK LEAGUE TABLES PLACE INCREASING EMPHASIS ON STUDENT SATISFACTION AND EMPLOYABILITY DATA WHILST GLOBAL TABLES FOCUS MORE ON RESEARCH, CITATIONS AND REPUTATION.
