The University of Oxford has ranked second behind the University of Cambridge in the  Complete University Guide’s 2027 league table, marking the second consecutive year that Cambridge has claimed the top spot. 

"Oxford scored high across the board. The student to staff ratio was the lowest in the UK (10.5 to 1) and the university also ranks among the best for graduate prospects."

The result of the annual publication placed Oxford above the California Institute of Technology and Harvard University, both sharing second place.

Oxford's lower ranking is a result of its poor performance in affordability and graduate outcomes, where it ranked 24th nationwide.

Just one in ten students at Oxford view themselves as working class while over 60% of students went to a private or grammar school.
