Editor’s note:

March 2022

Following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, we have taken steps to give Russian universities less prominence in the rankings, and have removed links to their university profiles. Our full statement on Ukraine can be found here.

April 2023

An update to the statistical information for UK universities displayed in the table has been implemented.

The number of students has been amended to reflect the HESA Standard Rounding Methodology and is now rounded to the nearest five.

This is a display correction only and has no impact on the ranking calculation.
