Best Universities In the UK

The Top Ten
1 University of Oxford The University of Oxford is a prestigious collegiate research university located in Oxford, England. Founded in the 12th century, it is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of the world's leading academic institutions. Oxford is made up of 39 autonomous colleges that offer a wide array of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. With a rich history and an esteemed faculty, including numerous Nobel laureates and other distinguished scholars, Oxford consistently ranks among the top universities globally.

Oxford has a much better course than Cambridge if you want to do science. Cambridge means you have to focus on all three, including the Biology that you hate as much as the Physics that you love, before you specialise after two years. Oxford is straight to the point, therefore, better! You don't need to do Biology and Chemistry as well as what you really want, so, if you want to do a science, Oxford is better than Cambridge. But Cambridge is good.

The oldest university in the english-speaking world is still the best!

As a current student here, I find both the academic and vocational aspects of this university fantastic.

3 Imperial College

Imperial is amazing; in my opinion, it should be higher than Oxford and Cambridge! I love how it's entirely focused on science, engineering and medicine. No pointless degrees are offered here (sorry art and social science students! )
