Top Universities in the United Kingdom

Introduction

What are the most popular Colleges and Universities in the United Kingdom? 黑料社answers this question by publishing the 2024 UK University Ranking of 165 UK higher-education institutions meeting the following 黑料社selection criteria:

being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate UK higher education-related organization
offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

黑料社aims to provide a non-academic League Table of the top UK Universities and Colleges based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
