Oxford University has been ranked first in an international league table for the fourth year in a row.
The annual Times Higher Education world rankings put Cambridge in third place and Imperial College London in tenth.
But there is a warning from the pilers of the rankings that other UK universities are "struggling to hold their own" against global rivals.
但排行榜编纂者警告称，其它英国大学在与全球大学的竞争中“难以站稳脚跟”。
They warn Germany is "poised to overtake" the UK in having the most top universities in Europe.
The annual rankings show Oxford once again named as the best university in the world
ahead of a US university - the California Institute of Technology - in second place.
US universities continue to dominate the rankings
taking seven of the top 10 places and 60 out of the top 200.

Iran's universities are among the "biggest climbers" in this year's league table.

An analysis acpanying the rankings says that the UK's so-called "golden triangle" - Oxford
Cambridge and London universities - continues to be very successful.
But it warns that this is "masking" a relative decline for other UK universities
while German universities are rapidly improving in the league table.
Since 2016
the number of UK universities in the top 200 has fallen from 34 to 28
while the number of German universities has risen from three to 23.
The analysis from the Times Higher Education says this could reflect higher levels of investment being put into Germany's university system.
It also warns that UK universities could fall further behind Germany in funding if they lose access to EU research partnerships after Brexit.
"If the UK starts to withdraw from the international stage
its position in the upper echelons of the rankings will suffer
" says Phil Baty of the Times Higher Education rankings.
The vice-chancellor of Oxford University
Louise Richardson
said: "Oxford's success is in large part due to our research collaborations with other excellent universities around the world and we remain determined both to deepen and to expand these partnerships
whatever Brexit brings."
