Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
The University of Oxford has dropped out of the top three UK universities for the first time in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026 rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are now tied for fourth place, with Durham University taking the third spot. The decline is attributed to poor performance in the latest National Student Survey, while Durham was named University of the Year.
