| Subject: World 'reputation' rankings: US universities in lead Thu Mar 15, 2012 2:14 am | |
| Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are top of a global league table of university reputation - in a top 100 dominated by US institutions.
Cambridge and Oxford make the top 10 - but other UK universities have slipped, while Asian institutions have risen.
Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education rankings, says this is "uncomfortable news" for the UK.
The rankings are based on the perceptions of 17,000 academics.
This list is an attempt to quantify the elusive but important quality of "reputation" in higher education - with its findings based on the opinions of academics around the world.
