The top UK University was Cambridge in third position, behind Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the top of the table and Harvard in second.

英国排名最高的学府是排名第三的剑桥大学，落后于排名第一的麻省理工和第二位的哈佛大学。

University College London (UCL) and Imperial occupied fourth and fifth places, with Oxford in sixth.

英国伦敦大学学院、伦敦大学帝国学院和牛津大学分别排行第四、第五和第六位。

Universities in the United States made up the rest of the top 10.

头十位中的其他位置都是美国大学所占据的。

There were eight UK universities in the top 50 and 18 in the top 100, with graduates from Oxford and Cambridge rated as theworld’s most employable by 27,000 global graduate employers polled for the ranking.

英国大学在排行榜的头50名中占有八个位置；在头100名中占有18个位置。排行榜访问了全球27000个聘用大学生的雇主，牛津和剑桥的大学生被他们评定为最称职的。

’Clearly the prestige of a UK degree is recognized by employers around the world, and the brand-name value of Oxbridge has so far survived any negative publicity following the tuition fee hikes and student protests,’ said Ben Sowter, head of research at QS.

QS的研究负责人本·苏瓦特说，明显地，英国的大学毕业生获得全球雇主的认可。在学费大幅度增加和学生抗议等不利消息之后，牛津剑桥的品牌价值到目前仍能维持不变。

However the rankings also suggest that UK universities struggle to keep up with the US when it comes to cutting-edge research.

不过，从这个排行榜也看出英国大学在先进的研究方面吃力地追赶美国。

Of UK universities, only Cambridge made the top 30 for research citations, with UCL, Oxford and Imperial in the top 50.

英国大学当中，只有剑桥的研究在被引用方面能进入30强，大学学院、牛津大学和帝国学院在50强之内。
