A respected league table of the world’s universities has placed Queen Mary University of London in the UK Top 20 and in 115th position globally – up 32 places from 2012.
The QS World University Rankings 2013/14 are published today (Tuesday 10 September) and show a rise in global position for Queen Mary, up to 115th from 172nd in 2011, and 147th in 2012. The university is ranked 19th in the UK.
