The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023 ranks 1,799 universities around the world. Over 600 of them are in Europe.

A UK institution – the University of Oxford – takes the top spot in our Europe table (and in the overall rankings), while 102 other UK universities appear in the league table. Spain and Italy are also well represented, with 55 institutions each.

Of the universities in mainland Europe, a Swiss institution – ETH Zurich, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich – achieves the highest rank, putting it in the top five in Europe and joint 11th in the THE World University Rankings 2023.

The top 10 European universities include UK, Swiss and German institutions, but UK universities take most of the top spots.

Institutions were assessed on their teaching environment, research environment, citations (research influence), industry income and international outlook. The full methodology can be viewed here.

While Italy has 55 universities in the ranking, its top-ranked institution – the University of Bologna in joint 161st place – doesn’t make it into the top 50 in Europe.

Elsewhere in Europe, Scandinavian countries perform well, with Sweden and Finland punching above their weight relative to their population size, with 13 and 10 institutions respectively in the ranking. Sweden’s top university – the Karolinska Institute – is in the top 50 of the World University Rankings 2023, while Finland’s University of Helsinki makes the top 150. The Netherlands also performs very strongly.

In the Europe table, other strong performers relative to their population size include Denmark (seven universities – led by the University of Copenhagen) and the Republic of Ireland (nine universities in total).

Overall, more than 30 European countries are represented in the Europe 2022 ranking, including France, Greece, Poland and Portugal. 

Top 5 universities in Europe

5. UCL

UCL was the first university to be established in London.

The university has its main campus in central London, with a number of facilities across the city and a satellite campus in Doha, Qatar.

As well as being the first university to be established in London, UCL was the first in the UK to be entirely secular and admit students regardless of their religious beliefs. 

It has been a member of the League of European Research Universities since January 2006 and is currently one of five British members (the others are the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford and Imperial College London).

4. ETH Zurich

ETH Zurich is a science, technology, engineering and mathematics university.

The institute has produced more than 20 Nobel prizewinners, including Albert Einstein. 

About 35 per cent of the institution’s students are from abroad and the university has established an International Knowledge Base to forge research and teaching relationships across the world.

3. Imperial College London

Imperial College London is the only university in the UK to focus entirely on science, engineering, medicine and business. 

The university attracts students from more than 125 countries every year and is considered one of the most international universities in the world.

In addition to top scientists, Fields medallists and Nobel prizewinners, Imperial also produces influential government advisers and policymakers. The author H. G. Wells and Sir Liam Donaldson, head physician to the late Queen, are among Imperial’s famous alumni.

2. University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is a public research university in the UK, established in the 13th century.  

The university, like many other well-established institutions, has many traditions. Until 1909, a metre-long wooden spoon was presented to the student with the lowest passing honours grade in the final examinations of the mathematical tripos (one of the courses available at the university). The spoon is now on display in St John’s College.

1. University of Oxford

There is no specific date to mark the founding of the University of Oxford, but it is thought that it was established some time in the 13th century.

The university has the largest library system in the UK, with more than 11 million volumes.

Since the university was established, it has become one of the most prestigious universities in the world. However, women were not admitted to the university until 1878, and it wasn’t until 1920 that women were awarded degrees. The last of the all-male colleges began to accept women in 1974.

It is home to a number of museums and galleries including the Ashmolean, which is the oldest museum in the UK and the oldest university museum in the world. It holds significant collections and works by artists such as Michelangelo, Turner and Picasso.
