Good University Guide 2026 has unexpectedly lost its long-term educational leaders: the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. These British universities have held their positions in the top three for all 32 years since the creation of the education ranking!
3 leading universities in the United Kingdom, according to the updated ranking:
Interesting fact: LSE has held the leading position for the second year in a row, although before that the school had not risen above fourth place for several years. After the rapid leap of the business school, Cambridge was already on the fourth line in the last ranking, although Oxford was able to stay on the third, but this time both British educational leaders shared one place - fourth.
The University of Durham became the hero of this year, almost repeating the fate of the LSE: it skyrocketed in the ranking list, rising by 2 positions in a year. A little earlier, the university received the status of "University of the Year".
Recall that the compilers of the largest ranking of British universities are The Times and The Sunday Times.
