Despite narrowly losing out to LSE in this year’s edition of the rankings, the University of Oxford maintained its top two position in the table and remains one of the best universities in the world. The University has won ten Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for Higher Education, more than any other university.
Oxford also operates a collegiate system, and the University currently has more world leading academics as part of its staff than any other UK university (Complete University Guide), whilst also being the best in the UK for its quality of research (REF 2014).

As a collegiate university, Cambridge is unusual for having no campus and as such is essentially a group of 31 self-governing colleges coming under one Cambridge banner. The University has produced 89 Nobel winners to date, while the city has some of the most ancient and iconic buildings found anywhere in the UK.
