Imperial College London has beaten both Oxford and Cambridge in global university rankings for the first time ever. Imperial jumped four spots from last year to secure second place in the QS World University Rankings, getting ahead of Oxford and Cambridge for the first time in the 20-year history of the rankings.
However, this year's results suggest that British higher education has limited capacity remaining to continue excelling in the face of funding shortages, drops in student applications, and ambiguity about the status of international students.
In the decade since Imperial College London was last crowned the United Kingdom's leading university, the country's sector has relentlessly continued to achieve world-leading performances despite the turbulence the country has faced, producing world-leading research and remaining one of the globe's premier study destinations.
