Cambridge has dethroned Oxford as the nation’s leading institution, says a new university league ranking released last Sunday.
According to the research conducted by the The Complete University Guide, this year Cambridge has jumped ahead of Oxford in the specific areas of research, entry standards and completion rates.
Over the past ten years, Oxford has occupied the top spot in the guide’s rankings with the exception of this year and 2007, when it was nudged out by Cambridge.
Despite Oxford’s shift, the University Guide’s top five institutions remain the same group: Imperial College London continues to rank third, whilst London School of Economics and Durham have swapped positions as fourth and fifth.
