A university’s ranking is based on the institution’s reputation with academics and employers, and the number of research citations the school gets per paper published in a specific discipline — in this case, law. QS then gives a score out of 100.
UK universities have been on a downward trend. Most have dropped down the global rankings and Cambridge, the UK’s best, fell out of the top three in 2016 and hasn’t managed to reclaim its spot.
Check out Britain’s top universities below. We’ve included their global ranking in brackets.
17: University of Leeds (101st globally) — Located in England’s biggest county, Leeds scored best for employer reputation, picking up 86.9 points.
16: University of St. Andrews (92nd globally) — The UK’s third oldest university, after Oxford and Cambridge, scored 98 out of 100 for its international faculty.
14= University of Birmingham (84th globally) — An employer reputation score of 88.6 wasn’t enough to stop Birmingham dropping two places globally.
