СʪÃÃÊÓƵ of London is the UK’s most international university for the second year in a row, according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025, released today.

The rankings also place Brunel the 6th most international university in the world, based on its ‘International Outlook’: its proportions of international staff and students and its international research collaboration.

Brunel again shares these spots with Queen’s University Belfast, with Imperial College London joining them for a three-way tie.

The annual THE World University Rankings rate research-intensive universities from around the globe across five measures – International Outlook, Citations, Teaching, Research and Industry Income – together with an overall score that combines all the measures.

Brunel’s overall score means it’s ranked equal 39th in the UK and in the 351–400 bracket globally.

Prof Trevor Hoey, Brunel’s Pro Vice-Chancellor International and Sustainability, commented: “I’m thrilled that Brunel has been recognised as the country’s most international university for the second year running. We are such a diverse, international community in which to work and study, and are proud of being a world-class research university – so the rankings do not come as a surprise.

“Our international partnerships, networks and research collaborations go from strength to strength, with our west London base a hub for our international activity.

“We remain passionate about attracting global talent, developing the next generation of international leaders and ‘change-makers’, and delivering impact that’s closely aligned with the needs of equitable and inclusive, environmentally-sustainable global societies and economies.”
