The Times Higher Education (THE) world university rankings, published today, saw the California Institute of Technology maintain its position as the top-ranked university.

MIT, which ranks first in the QS world rankings, once again came in fifth in the THE rankings.

U.S. universities dominated with 7 out of 10 of the top 10 universities. British universities make up 3 out of the top 10, 7 of the top 50 and 11 in the top 100, which are listed below. The University of Oxford maintains its position in joint second place.

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said that, “These rankings testify to London’s strength in higher education and to our lengthening lead over European rivals.”

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2013-2014 powered by Thomson Reuters are the only global university performance tables to judge world class universities across all of their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The top universities rankings employ 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons available, which are trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments.
