Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and Times Higher Education World University Rankings
3 October 2013
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has moved to 21st place from 17th in the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings, one of only four UK universities ranked in the top 25 worldwide.
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's new President and Provost, Professor Michael Arthur, said: "The various university rankings have a wide range of different methodologies and metrics, going some way to explain our different positions within them. Rankings are always a source of intrigue, debate and gossip in the HE sector and they highlight to a much wider audience that UK universities generally perform well on the global stage.
"We're not complacent and are always interested in any factors that might have led to a change in position in any of the rankings. However, our ups and downs in the tables will not divert us from focusing on our core mission - educating and inspiring our students and delivering world class research."
