For the sixth year running, the University of Cambridge has topped the Financial Times annual UK universities league table, which was published on Saturday (2 May 2003).

The Financial Times rates institutions against 17 criteria, including research, teaching, graduate employment and income from industry. Cambridge was ranked first for research and for four other criteria, including percentage of students gaining first-class honours and percentage of students entering professional training or postgraduate research.

The University of Oxford was ranked second and the remaining top five places were held by three London institutions: Imperial College, the London School of Economics and University College London.
