OXFORD and Cambridge are among the world's top ten universities, according
to a new global ranking published today.

They were fifth and sixth respectively in the league table of the world's
200 best universities. Harvard, which boasts an endowment of nearly
$23billion (?12.7billion), was first in the list produced by The Times
Higher Education Supplement (THES).

American institutions occupied seven of the top ten places, with Oxbridge
the highest-ranked outside the United States...

...Cambridge, Massachusetts, however, can lay claim to being the world's
most intellectual city, as home to Harvard and to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, which was ranked at No3.

California also scored highly, with the University of California, Berkeley,
in second place, the California Institute of Technology, fourth, and
Stanford seventh.

Tokyo University, in Japan, ranked at No12, was the highest-ranked
institution in Asia, followed by Beijing University at No17.

Australian universities featured particularly well. Six were among the top
50 in the World University Rankings, led by the Australian National
University in sixteenth place.

France, by contrast, managed just two universities in the top 50, with the
?cole Polytechnique in 27th place and ?cole Normale Sup?rieure 30th.
Heidelburg University, in 47th place, was Germany's only entry, one fewer
than Hong Kong...
