In the news

If you want to go to the best university in the world, apply to Cambridge. And if you don't fancy Cambridge but want to go to one of the 25 best in the world you don't have to look beyond the UK. Or that's what the most recent league table of the best universities in the world seems to suggest. Cambridge came top, for the first time pushing Harvard down to second place. And in general British universities made a strong showing. University College London, Oxford University and Imperial College are all in the world top 10; and King's College London and Edinburgh University in the top 25.
