泰晤士日报世界大学排名中多所英国高校入选(图片源自网络)
十月四日The Times Higher Education World University Rankings泰晤士日报世界大学2012-2013年度排名发布.排名主要是判断各世界大学的核心：如教学、研究、知识转化和国际视野等。此排名根据13个详尽的指标提供最全面、均衡的比较。
目前世界大学排名较为流行的排名有两种一个是QS世界大学排名（QS World University Ranking）,另外一个是The Times Higher Education World University Rankings。2009年之前（包括2009年），QS和泰晤士高等教育增刊合作，曾推出具有广泛影响的：泰晤士高等教育-QS世界大学排名。自2010年，QS和泰晤士高等教育增刊合作终止，QS推行了自己独立的世界大学排名，即QS世界大学排名。泰晤士日报世界大学排名和QS世界大学排名都非常具有影响性，但由于评量标准和各指标的比重有所不同，两者在同年度所发表的排名会有所差异。
与2011-2012年度排名相比，英国各个学校的排名基本变化不大。
