The top 200 universities in Europe have been published in new rankings today; revealing that the UK is leading the way with nearly a quarter of all places on the list.
However, despite the UK having 46 institutions in the top 200, Germany is catching up, with 36 universities in the rankings and a spot in the top 10, according to the Times Higher Education (THE).
According to the figures, the University of Oxford is the top ranked institution in Europe, while the University of Cambridge is placed second, with Imperial College London taking third.
Also in the top 10 are University College London, London School of Economics and Political Science, the University of Edinburgh and King’s College London. The German university, LMU Munich, ranks in tenth place while Sweden and Switzerland are also represented.
Scandinavian countries performed well in the rankings with Sweden and Finland having six and 11 institutions respectively in the top 200.
Russia, however, was "the surprise underperformer", with just five institutions in the top 200, making it the lowest-ranked country relative to its population and Gross Domestic Product – although it ranks highly relative to its GDP per capita.
