UK University League Table 2023
The Times and The Sunday Times have published the latest UK University league table for 2023. The top 25 universities in the UK can be found based on different factors, including teaching quality, student experience, research quality, entry standards, graduate prospects, completion rate, student vs staff ratio, etc.
Last year’s second position holder, the University of Oxford, secured the first position while the University of St Andrews dropped one place.
London is still the home of top universities in the UK; three universities out of the top ten are from the capital.
