U.S dominates world in university rankings
by Joseph Ernest September 16, 2010
Newscast Media --According to an international league table, the US accounts for 72 of the world's 200 best universities, according to an international league table. The Times Higher Education magazine's table, based on a number of criteria, including teaching, research and staff and student mix, has Harvard top.
Only five British institutions are ranked among the top 50, with Cambridge and Oxford in joint sixth place.
However, last week a separate study in the UK ranked Cambridge as the world's top university, followed by Harvard.
University leaders say the latest table indicates the UK still has the world's second-strongest university system, but that this is under threat
California Institute of Technology is ranked at number two in the table, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology in third place.
The only university outside of North America and the UK in the top 20 is the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich.
In the top 10, other than Cambridge and Oxford, the only non-US university is Imperial College London, in ninth.
