The University of Cambridge has dropped out of the main three worldwide colleges without precedent for over 10 years, the yearly QS World University Rankings have uncovered.
As per the rundown, the tip top foundation is the most astounding positioned in the UK, however has tumbled from third place to fourth - its least positioning since the association tables were propelled in 2004.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been named the world's best for the fifth sequential year.
In total, 38 of the UK’s 48 top 400 universities dropped down the rankings this year. Cambridge, Oxford, UCL and Imperial remained within the top 10, but the latter slipped from eighth to ninth this year.
Ben Sowter, head of research at QS, argued that a combination of uncertainty over immigration and long-term funding issues could have influenced the UK’s performance.
He added that "the ability to hire and retain the top young talent from around the world seems to be damaging the reputation of the UK’s higher education sector".
However, in terms of cities, London continues to host more top 40 institutions than any other city in the world, with nearly half of its 16 featured universities rising in the rankings.
