United Kingdom University Rankings

Top Universities in the United Kingdom

Introduction

What are the most popular Colleges and Universities in the United Kingdom? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2024 UK University Ranking of 166 UK higher-education institutions meeting the following uniRank 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

uniRank 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.
