Havard University in the United States remains the best global university according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World Reputation Rankings 2015. The rankings which employ the world’s largest invitation-only academic opinion survey provide the list of the top 100 most powerful global university brands.
Havard is followed by the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University in the second, third, fourth and fifth positions respectively. They are followed by the University of California, Berkeley, Princeton, Yale and California Institute of Technology with Columbia University coming in at position ten. While Harvard is still at the top, two British schools, Cambridge and Oxford, have pushed MIT and Stanford out of the number two and three slots. Still, American institutions dominate the ranks of the most admired universities in the world, according to a list just released by Times Higher Education, a London magazine that tracks the higher education market.
