Harvard is still the No. 1 university in the world! UCL has made big improvement in the rankings and it is now a top 4 university in the world.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings are changing for 2010. The partnership with QS had ended. Details, and the chance to hav your say: http://bit.ly/ErAag
