European universities take just over 40 per cent of the places in the list of the best universities in the world.

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025 ranks 2,092 universities worldwide. Nearly 700 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 106 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 – achieves the highest rank, putting it in the top five in Europe and 11th in the THE World University Rankings 2025.

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.

Nordic 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 – Karolinska Institute – makes the top 50 of the World University Rankings. The Netherlands also performs very strongly and you can explore the top universities in the Netherlands here. 

In the Europe table, other strong performers relative to their population size include Denmark (six 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 2025 ranking, including France, Spain, Italy, Poland and Portugal. 

Top 5 universities in Europe

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.

It is one of the most prestigious universities globally. However, women were not admitted until 1878, and it wasn’t until 1920 that women were awarded degrees. The last of the all-male colleges began accepting women in 1974.

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

2. University of Cambridge

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

Like other ancient institutions, Cambridge 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.

3. Imperial College London

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

It attracts students from more than 125 countries and is considered one of the world’s most international universities.

In addition to top scientists, Fields medallists and Nobelists, Imperial also produces influential government advisers and policymakers. The author H.G. Wells and journalist and politician Sir Trevor Phillips are among Imperial’s famous alumni.

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.

5. UCL

UCL has its main campus in central London and has just opened a second campus at the Olympic Park in east London.

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 2006 and is one of five British members (the others are the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford and Imperial College London).
