Which university has been ranked at the top?

The University of Oxford, located in the United Kingdom, has once again secured the top position in the rankings for the eighth consecutive year. The top 10 also includes American universities alongside those from the UK. However, a comprehensive analysis conducted by THE magazine showed that the overall standing of the UK and US in the global higher education landscape is diminishing in comparison to other systems.

In November 2004, The Times Higher Education Supplement, in collaboration with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), released the first edition of the World University Rankings, assessing 200 universities. The methodology at the time relied on a mere five performance indicators, including the staff-to-student ratio, the academic reputation based on a survey, research paper citations, the presence of international staff on campus, and the proportion of international students.
