I wasn't even aware Oxford has ever loses top 2. May be I am way too stuck in the past. Also surprised Imperial and UCL are lower than what I expected.

I remember the joke in "Yes Minister" about LSE. How times have changed.

I also wonder the world is now more American focused, how do they rank against Harvard, MIT or other US Universities.

1. LSE 2. University of St Andrews 3. Durham University 4. Oxford and Cambridge 6. Imperial College London

Given that this is Hacker News, I think it is worth pointing out that Durham's strong suit traditionally is the humanities. In my opinion a CS degree from Oxford, Cambridge, or ICL is considerably more impressive than one from Durham.

Given this is Hacker News, I think we should definitely encourage all Yes, Minister references.

		Incredibly good writing throughout... only Armando Ianucci gets close, IMO. Of course he leans a bit more heavily into straight up farce, which may not be to one's taste, but still...

I've found graduate students at Edinburgh to be fairly good as well thanks to the EPSRC's preference for the uni.

You can see one international ranking (maybe the most important) from June this year here:
