A general observation that the leading universities globally are based in the USA , UK, Singapore, Canada, Switzerland and China.
So the question is why are there no EU based institutions in the top 30?
Because the Grand Ecoles are not classed as Universities.
"The rankings also only include institutions that have a certain number of undergraduate courses, so institutions that are post graduate only or heavily research focused do not appear."
In the past, French universities have also suffered in international rankings because of a lack of research published in English, although an increasing number of international courses taught in English mean that more English research is now published.
This year, 44 French institutions are counted among the top universities in the world. The 2024 ranking includes 11 institutions in Paris – the most represented city in France.
The UK should be very proud of it's Universities, they have always attracted the best scholars in the World. Going forward, it will be interesting if they can continue to attract them.
This is an article in English which explains why French Universities are not higher in the rankings but are very good.

The next government will get a better economic inheritance than the gloomy forecasts suggest,​

HAMISH MCRAE -This Is Money​


Share prices seem at last to be getting the message that the UK is not such a basket case after all.

All it took to push the FTSE 100 index up a couple of hundred points last week were decent inflation numbers and the signal from the Bank of England that interest rates should be on the way down by summer.

Anyone who was reading the right newspapers would have known this anyway – so why the surprise?

There have been lots of other positive indicators about the economy, including an upturn in the CBI industrial trends survey, strong purchasing managers' indices, a clear revival in house prices and so on.

There is a wider point here. It is that the next government, whoever forms it, looks like getting a much better inheritance that seemed likely a few weeks ago.

The forecasts are catching up with the better inflation outlook but have yet to reflect the likelihood of faster growth. If that does indeed happen, a lot of the other concerns, notably the debt burden, become much more manageable. But for some reason or other, many did not want to accept that a corner really had been turned. Anyone who believed the tales of gloom will have missed out on a decent rally.

Still, if it is right that the inheritance of the next government will turn out to be not too bad, the reset in global opinion about the UK will run hot and strong.
