The British Times Higher Education magazine released its annual ranking of the world’s higher education institutions, taking into consideration 621 schools.

There were no surprises at the top, with Harvard, Cambridge and Yale taking the top three spots. The United States, followed by the United Kingdom, had the most universities in the top 200, with Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland also faring well.

Look out for the Times' "documentary" on the subject coming soon on your local BBC station!

You know there's a little yellow teeth "investigative reporter" somewhere in the UK looking for a foreign country to dump on, right?
I can just hear the tone, of the quite righteous indignation, worthy only of those Great White judges of the world, vetting yet another of its imperfections, proving yet again the inherent superiority of the Anglo morality and way of life...

As a former "stazhista" (post-graduate student) at the Jagellonian University of Krakow, I think this rating is a bit unfair. In my day tuition was good (and more closely monitored than in UK universities), and the University Library (Biblioteka Jagellonska) was first-class.
