Answer Question

9 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    According to the 2008 London Times, the top ten universities in the United Kingdom (Great Britain, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) are:

    1. Cambridge University, founded in 1209 by scholars who left Oxford after a dispute, it is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world.

    2. Oxford University, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, was founded around 1167, though the date is not certain. Teaching has been going on at Oxford since 1096, and it was a University at some point around the time that Henry II banned English students from going to the University of Paris.

    3. Imperial College, near Hyde Park in the heart of London, was founded in 1907 and focuses on science, engineering, and medicine, although recently a college of business and a humanities department have been added.

    4. The London School of Economics is actually one college within the University of London. An elite college, many graduating scholars have gone on to become world leaders in their area of expertise.

    5. St. Andrews University, in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the oldest university in Scotland, and third-oldest in the English-speaking world, having been founded somewhere between 1410 and 1413. Prince William famously attended St. Andrews.

    6. University College, London was founded in 1826 as London University, and was the first British institution of higher learning to admit students regardless of race, class, gender or religion. It is also the first British university established on a secular, or non-religious, basis.

    7. Warwick College, more properly called the University of Warwick, is actually located in Coventry, in central England, near the town of Warwick. It was founded in 1965 and has become well-known for both its political and business ties.

    8. Durham University is still officially the University of Durham, and it was founded in 1832 and granted a royal charter in 1837. It currently stands as the best university in all of Europe for space science studies.

    9. The University of York is located in York, in the north of England; the university was established in 1963, although a request for a college in the town of York was petitioned to King James I as early as 1617. The university attracts the highest research income per student of any UK university.

    10. Bath University, located in the city of Bath in the southwestern reaches of England, received its royal charter in 1966 and focuses primarily on teaching and research.
