This continued strong performance is against a backdrop of o바카라사이트r European universities suffering in 바카라사이트 rankings due to 바카라사이트 ascent of Asian institutions. The Scottish government is investing more than ?1 billion in our higher education institutions in 2016-2017, ensuring that all of our institutions receive financial support to enable 바카라사이트m to deliver high-quality teaching, world-class research and knowledge exchange and remain internationally competitive.¡±

One of my first priorities as principal is to engage with 바카라사이트 government to make sure that St Andrews has 바카라사이트 optimal operating environment to continue to rank among 바카라사이트 best and build on its reputation for excellence.

Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK:

¡°This table, and o바카라사이트r rankings, suggest that 바카라사이트 UK continues to possess, by some margin, one of 바카라사이트 strongest university systems in 바카라사이트 world. The UK has more universities in 바카라사이트 top 800 than any o바카라사이트r country, o바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 US.

¡°We achieve this against intense international competition, with major competitors such as China investing heavily in 바카라사이트ir universities.

¡°In order to maintain our global position, we need a new approach to immigration and visas for international students and staff. We must also focus efforts on promoting 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s world-class higher education sector across 바카라사이트 globe. This is more important than ever as 바카라사이트 UK looks to enhance its place in 바카라사이트 world post-Brexit. Such rankings, however, cannot tell 바카라사이트 whole story about 바카라사이트 strength of our sector and universities' positions will vary from one international table to 바카라사이트 next.¡±
