The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Lincoln and Nottingham Trent 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ are among the new entrants to this year¡¯s Times Higher Education ¡°Table of Tables¡±.

The pair¡¯s inclusion means that there are three post-92 institutions in the latest edition of the table, which is based on the combined results of the UK¡¯s three main domestic university rankings. All three institutions ¨C Coventry 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ (24th place), Nottingham Trent (25th) and Lincoln (29th) ¨C owe their place in the THE table to their inclusion in the rankings produced by The Guardian.

The biggest riser in this year¡¯s table is the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Southampton, which climbed to 19th after falling out of the top 30 last year.

Newcastle 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ also made strong gains, ascending four places to 23rd, while the London School of Economics rose three places to join the top 10 at joint eighth place.

Meanwhile, the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Sussex is the biggest faller, dropping seven places to 27th, and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Surrey declines six places to 20th.

The top three places are unchanged from last year. The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Cambridge takes first position for the eighth consecutive year, with the institution claiming maximum points after topping the latest editions of The Complete 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Guide, the rankings published by The Guardian and the combined Times and Sunday Times¡¯ Good 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Guide.

51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Oxford and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of St Andrews hold on to second and third place, respectively, while Imperial College London remains at fourth. Loughborough 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ moves up one place to fifth, while Durham 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ slips two places to sixth.

There are five new entries in the table this year: alongside Lincoln, Nottingham Trent and Southampton, Royal Holloway, 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of London is now 28th and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Aberdeen is 30th.

Meanwhile, the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Kent, King¡¯s College London and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Sheffield all fall out of the table. The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Dundee and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ for the Creative Arts, both new entrants last year, fail to remain in the ranking for a second year.
